A spokesman for the Department of Work and Pensions said: “A decision on whether someone is well enough to work is taken following a thorough assessment and after consideration of all the supporting medical evidence from the claimant's GP or medical specialist. Our sympathy goes out to the family of Mr Wood.”

I see their PR level is more important than the fact that they are still going to go on shitting on people and destroying lives over minor pieces of red tape. Well done on the passive, polite bullshit.

I'm going to be the unpopular view here but, whilst I am aware that the UK has unemployment and more specifically the long term disability/health issues relating to the job centre, how did his friends, family and neighbours let this happen? This is the MRA question in this case, it is not so much the failure of the system but the society in which he as an impoverished man had no support network.

He should have manned up harder, the extra testosterone would have filled his gut and wallet.
