In his initial claim, supported by a doctor, he said that he spent four days out of seven in a wheelchair, a court heard. Prosecuting, Katie Price said that when Sedgwick was investigated between September 2018 and August 2020, he was found to be working for three separate employers, including a tractor company.Mitigating for Sedgwick, Stephen Meredith said:"This claim was not fraudulently made from the beginning.
