Disabled woman took her own life after benefits wrongly stopped, coroner finds

A disabled mother took her own life after her benefits were incorrectly stopped, a coroner has concluded. Jodey Whiting, 42, left notes to her family members, saying she had no food, could not afford her bills, and that she had "had enough", an inquest heard. In January 2017, Ms Whiting was told she had missed the medical assessment and she was therefore judged to be fit to work.

There have been so many more cases like this. The previous UK government actually destroyed records of them in an attempt to keep them secret.

Only £10K compensation. If the DWP even pays it, they’ve still saved money by her death. First they came for the disabled…

      Yeah I’ve had the same thought. I have a friend who had her half of her hand mangled by machinery; she got her disability money but being unable to work she has people constantly driving by slowly by her house, standing out on neighbor’s lawns, etc to make sure she isn’t outside doing anything physical. I’m not sure who does it in America, but it’s absolutely disgusting.

      Motherfuckers doing absolutely nothing useful to society; opposite, actually. Vindictive pieces of shit that harm society from the bottom up.
