Man wins fit-for-work appeal seven months after his death
The family of a man who spent the last 18 months of his life fighting a decision that he was fit to work have won his case – seven months after he died.
Jeff Hayward, from Clitheroe, Lancashire, was 52 when he died of a heart attack in June last year, two weeks before he was due to go to a disability benefit appeal tribunal.
The father-of-two and grandfather had cellulitis, a painful bacterial skin infection, on his legs and his GP deemed him unfit to work. Nevertheless, in November 2016 after he lost his job of more than 25 years, he was refused employment support allowance (ESA) after a health assessor awarded him no disability points.
We are seeing these stories every day under this cruel and heartless Conservative Government. Nobody passes these assessments first time and the tory shites do it to save money whilst numerous appeals take place. Thousands have died.
Conservatives used to hate the poor. Now they hate the sick as well.
Absolute trash.
