"A HIGHLAND councillor’s disability allowance has been stopped as he is investigated over allegations of benefit fraud, the Press and Journal has learned. Labour councillor John Holden, who has represented Inverness South since the 2007 election, has been the subject of inquiries involving the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Northern Constabulary since last September. The DWP expects to complete its investigation into his benefit claims within a fortnight. A police investigation that has focused on Mr Holden’s role in organising car boot sales in Inverness is continuing."
