Description
A shocking exposé of Britain's biggest hidden scandal reveals how government austerity led to the deaths of hundreds of disabled people. In the early 2010s, reports emerged of deaths linked to the Department for Work and Pensions, the government body responsible for the disability benefits system. Despite pleas to correct fatal flaws in the social security system, the DWP ignored these warnings and covered up its role in the deaths of dozens, if not thousands, of disabled individuals. This book is the result of years of research by disabled journalist John Pring, who has pieced together the heartbreaking stories of twelve individuals who died under the DWP's care.
