DWP tells grieving mum her sick son must attend work interview – on the day of his funeral
The Department for Work and Pensions sent a letter to the mother of a dying man telling him he had to attend a work interview while he was in intensive care.
And although the man’s mother told the Job Centre about her son’s serious condition – they ignored her and sent another letter which arrived on the day of her son’s funeral:

But this is NOT an isolated case or a simple mistake.
Here is yet more proof that it is NOT so-called benefits fraudsters who are being targeted by the Cameron/Clegg government – but the genuinely sick, disabled and even dying:

Would it be possible for you to write about posts and link to them rather than reblogging them, Tom? It rather clogs up my email inbox. If this is something you feel strongly about, I’d suggest you write your own post linking out to the other posts that are relevant on this topic.
