Martin faces 10 charges of “obtaining by deception” and four charges of “attempted obtaining by deception”.

Cotter faces four charges of “obtaining by deception” and three charges of “attempted obtaining by deception”.

Sian and Joshua Grant each face four charges of “obtaining by deception” and one charge of “attempted obtaining by deception”.
