Benefits on Trial: The Victims: Adults with a Learning Disability - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

There are over 1,000,000 adults with a learning disability in the UK. For their benefits, they have to battle with the Department for Work and Pensions whose system, with built-in hurdles, is loaded against them.

Benefits on Trial describes the DWP’s treatment of six people which leaves them deep in relative poverty. The book explores the strain not just on their finances but also, inevitably, on their mental health.

Benefits on Trial also examines, however, what happens when they appeal to an independent tribunal: the injustice at the hands of the DWP is set right, with its decisions overturned by a massive margin.

The DWP stands exposed by the evidence of this book.
