A disabled man who swallowed poison in a jobcentre in an attempt to take his own life, after becoming “overwhelmed” by the harmful actions of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), has pleaded…
When I was a lot worse than I am now I had to deal with how dehumanizing these places were. If your parents hadn’t gotten you diagnosed with whatever is wrong with you and you can’t afford to see a doctor because you have undiagnosed mental health issues that make it so you can’t hardly hold a job no one cares. I have had intrusive thoughts about doing something similar, I have to wonder how many people killed themselves while holding the rejection letter or just waiting for a response from the disability agency. And having dealt with those people I got the impression that they’d rather you just did instead of wasting their time.
The cruelty is intentional, it costs more to administer the cruelty in this fashion than it would to just give the people the money they need.
DWP has a strong track record of basically killing its applicants and hires some of the most demonic people to exact their cruelty. I remember an article a long while back where the DWP listed someone in a coma as fit for work.
