“A coroner has called on the Department for Work and Pensions (#DWP) to make urgent policy changes, after it ordered a #disabled patient to leave hospital to visit a jobcentre despite being severely ill with a condition that later killed him.
The call for urgent action has come in a prevention of future deaths (#PFD) report, the latest in a series of such letters to be sent to DWP by #coroners over the last 12 years following the department’s repeated failure to ensure the safety of disabled benefit claimants.”
