Corrections & Complaints

The Department for Work and Pensions would like us to clarify that, between Dec 2011 and Feb 2014, 2,380 people died within 14 days of their sickness benefit claim ending after being found fit to work rather than within 14 days of being found fit to work, as we reported on Friday August 28, 2015. Some of these people were going through the appeals process and would still have been receiving a lower rate of benefits when they died. We are happy to make clear that it might have been the stress and hardship of losing benefits that was linked to their deaths rather than the stress of being told they will lose benefits.
