When are the Government going to realise that the assessment system and ATOS "Medicals" are not fit for purpose ?
A double lung and heart transplant patient told she was 'fit to work' by Government assessors died nine days after her benefits were stopped.
The former council worker suffered from regular blackouts and was on 10 prescription medications a day
She was told her benefits were being stopped as she lay dying in hospital.
Her husband Peter, 50, said: 'I sat there and listened to my wife drown in her own body fluids. It took half an hour for her to die; a woman who is apparently fit for work.'
He described the last few months of his wife’s life as 'a misery', saying that she worried constantly about her benefit payments and worried that she would be seen as 'a scrounger'.
Mr Wootton said: 'I do not know how, or if, it will change the system, but at least we can show the population what people like Linda have to go through at the hands of these people.'
