"But the statistics, released on the order of the Government’s transparency watchdog, show that between December 2011 and February 2014, 2,380 people died after their Work Capability Assessment told them they should start looking for work."

"These were the figures IDS said didn't exist on a programme being administered on payment by results? The results being that people are denied benefits and told to get to work.

He didn't have a clue what people meant when they questioned him about them.
I seem to remember too, him throwing a hissy fit on a Question Time panel when he was asked about suicides from people found fit for work, which he rubbished as nonsense. |

Adam should club him with it.
To think that those are people's friends, family and loved ones. I'm getting too mad thinking about it. |

Last year I went to see a performance by a group of disabled people. They had gathered stories of being denied benefits following WCA's and used them to put together the drama based on real events.
One of the stories was about someone with Motor Neurone Disease who was assessed as capable of work as they could still walk the requisite distance at the time of the assessment. Two weeks later they had lost that ability but their appeal was denied. As with most people with MND they had died by the time their appeal was finally upheld.

Maybe within the DWP it's known as the 'Voldemort' - torturing them until they die. |
