Compassion is just what Social Security says one working woman abused.

45 year old Mildred Vassel, an employee of Ready Call was yesterday dragged to court on 13 counts of "made a false representation claim to sickness benefits."

Social Security says that between February 26, to November 22, 2015, she made claims for sickness benefits a total of 13 different times.

It is further alleged that she visited a doctor and reported sick between those periods and then later brought in sick paper documents, knowing she was not sick.

During all those periods, it was revealed that she was working still at the Ready Call office and collecting a regular pay check.

After the facts were read out in court to Vassel, she did not agree with them, and Magistrate Mendoza entered an equivocal plea of not guilty on her behalf and the case was adjourned for September 5, 2016.
