You appear to be twisting the words
There's a big difference between "associated with a DWP activity" and "died/committed suicide as a result of their policies/ways of working".
And 60, whilst a terrible number, is not approx. 500... |
The information that I provided is not in the public domain- campaigners hope to change this. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that EVERYTHING is on the internet- it isn't.

People coming out of care would be adults ,people abused as children grow up and become adults ,non disabled adults are expected to look after themselves

Your attitude towards suicide is appalling. In fact, you are so ignorant of the subject that you are actually asking for assistance to point out where you said anything wrong.
This lady and her children can better explain why your 'they would have done it anyway even if their benefits hadn't been stopped, so it doesn't really matter' attitude is so offensive.

The idea of this proposed scheme is to prevent those in this client group from being able to claim Housing Benefit. The notion is that if they haven't got a job, then they should stay at home until they find one.
What if somebody reaches adulthood after being systematically sexually abused by a parent and is unable to secure reasonably well paid employment? Do you think that it is appropriate for them to be expected stay at home for some years?
Even the Thatcher administration had built in safeguards for those estranged from their parent/s when they legislated to prevent 16 and 17 year olds from claiming benefits by reason of unemployment.
