Removed his pip benefits as he didn’t complete the form and return it.
His sister now seems very involved and has the time to give interviews. It’s a shame she didn’t have the time to help him whilst he was still alive, isn’t it.
Seems like a safeguarding failure rather than a PIP failure. Even a phone without credit can phone 999.
This is tragic and an awful example of the cruelty in the way the DWP has been operating for the past decade. But I don’t understand how the proposed changes to eligibility would have made any difference to this scenario. From what is described here he’d have been eligible for PIP under the new criteria? So I don’t understand the conflation.
Odd headline as it was a few weeks only
It seems he shouldn’t have been living alone and should have been placed into residential care….
If you can barely walk and are completely incontinent not sure how you’re meant to be caring for yourself.
How convenient for the ‘Disability news service’ to find this story from 2 weeks ago before the budget was even announced. Can i get money for feeling manipulated?.
If it’s gonna be anything like the last set of cuts it’s gonna be the honest ones that gonna suffer while the fakers get away with it.
GenAI image, and you want me to believe the article?
