There have been so many more cases like this. The previous UK government actually destroyed records of them in an attempt to keep them secret.
Only £10K compernsation. If the DWP even pays it, they’ve still saved money by her death. First they came for the disabled…
I feel like “government caused wrongful death” should have a pre-defined universal payout that is way more expensive than desperately trying to keep a person alive. Like $30 million or something like that.
Totally agree. But they’ll never do that because there have been thousands of wrongful deaths like this one.
Yeonmi Park voice something about in the Bad System the government drives people to suicide and then pays a pittance to their family by way of apology.
This is heinous
Ten thousand fucking pounds? For a “mistake” that ended up killing someone? FFS.
And they aren’t even required to pay it, it’s just a recommendation.
It’s fucking disgusting isn’t it?
