This is another case where the harsh treatment of someone terminally ill makes me wonder what brutal regime exists in this country. it was reported in the i newspaper recently. "A woman who died of bowel cancer was denied benefits in the last months of her life after she was noted to be "well nourished", despite weighing just 6 stone. Carol Sands from Southend, Essex, who died at the age of 56, could not afford to give up her job running a homeless charity shop despite gruelling chemotherapy sessions and watching her weight plummet. Her sister, Annie Sands, told i "It was devastating for her while she was dealing with having cancer and going through horrible treatment. "People with cancer shouldn't be worrying about fighting for their money during their last days". Ms Sands, who runs the Disability and Wellness Network, a community interest company providing welfare rights advice, said there has been little improvement in access to welfare payments since the death of her sister, who had 3 children, in 2017. A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said yesterday, "Our sincere condolences are with the Sands family. Our disability assessors are all qualified health professionals and in the majority of cases we make the right decision". "when someone disagrees with an assessment, they can ask for this to be reconsidered and appeal to an independent tribunal".
So now we know that when you are dying of cancer you are expected to challenge the government body that considered you well enough to work. It is so barbaric to be downright evil. Contrast this to the cases of the illegal immigrants who come in and get handed money, housing, healthcare, travel passes, clothes, smartphone etc. There is something decidedly sick and twisted in this country.
