ANTI-POVERTY campaigners have notched up an astonishing 67,000 signatories to a petition calling on Amber Rudd’s department to stop sending misleading letters to doctors about welfare claimants.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are sending GPs letters claiming that their patients do not need a “fit note” anymore because they have been found fit for work.
Campaigners say this letter is leaving severely ill and disabled claimants unable to obtain Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) to which they are entitled pending appeal.
