UK welfare system's deadly mistakes

lundi 29 juin 2015 à 14:00

The UK welfare system ruled that Mark Wood was not disabled and was capable of working. Apparently it was mistaken, because instead he starved to death. He now has a posthumous art exhibition.

That wasn't the last time the system was wrong about this. Why does it make so many mistakes? Partly because it has quotas for various things it does to cut people's benefits.

Now it seems to have a quota for accusing poor people of fraud.

The unemployed who feel discouraged about finding work are now pressured to attend brainwashing sessions for this "psychological problem".
