A Hamilton couple has been charged with defrauding the Ontario Disability Support Program.
Hamilton Police say they received information late last year from ODSP workers that a local couple may be defrauding the provincial service.
It’s alleged a man was working while receiving disability benefits and collected $130,000 he was not entitled to receive.
Investigators claim the accused also forged documents for a mortgage application to purchase a house worth over $500,000.
