DAMNING evidence of deaths and suffering, linked to austerity, among disabled people will be delivered to every MP in the House of Commons today.

Relatives of disabled people who died will join activists delivering 650 copies of a new book, How a Violent Government Bureaucracy Killed Hundreds and Hid the Evidence. The title holds the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) responsible for implementing Tory government measures against people with disabilities.

Highlighted measures include Work Capability Assessments, which reclassified sick and disabled people as “fit for work,” depriving them of benefits if they were unable to comply.
