Man dies of fit while stressed over DWP benefit assessment

Another one gone. The Tories call this a “positive benefit outcome”.

A mum has slammed the Department of Work and Pensions after her son died from a fit.

Ruksana Majid says her son Aaron Meharban was stressed about an assessment to discover if he qualified for Personal Independence Payments.

The 21-year-old had epilepsy, anxiety and hearing problems, reports Teesside Live .

He suffered an epileptic fit and died at his house in Middlesbrough on Saturday, June 15.

His mum Ruksana said Aaron was particularly stressed about a benefits assessment he was due to attend the following Monday.

Arron died alone and his body was not found until the following day.

These deaths will continue until we get a Labour government that will stop them. Anyone voting for a Tory government should consider themselves an accessory.

Interestingly the article states: “According to figures, around 1,600 working-age disabled people die each year after having their claim for disability benefits rejected.”

Why is this not a screaming national scandal?
