This strikes me as the same as questions about MPs around the cash for questions.

If they are putting themselves forward to serve the community they should be beyond reproach. If you are convicted of a criminal offence then you should be barred from public office.

This should go for councillors, MPs, Lords and judges. Anyone who may make law either by voting or precedent, and benefit fraud is a crime.
