DISABLED people brought London's Tottenham Court Road to a standstill yesterday as they vented their fury at hundreds of deaths linked to cuts in disability benefits.

Dozens of activists from Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Winvisible and the Mental Health Resistance Network assembled outside this year's TUC Disabled Workers conference before marching on to the street.

Ignoring police orders the protesters blocked the street with banners and wheelchairs, chanting: "No More deaths from benefit cuts."
