It is not permissible for you to take the aforementioned assistance, as the matter may involve two شرعي (Islamically unlawful) prohibitions: lying and taking money unjustly. This is if the embassy intentionally reported something contrary to the reality. However, if it was unintentional, then there is one prohibition, which is taking money unjustly. What is obligatory upon you is to change the salary mentioned in the paper to match the reality.
