Welfare State needs Responsibility

I find it absolutely disgusting how DWP staff, management and politicians are all exempt from any blame when it comes to benefit entitlement decisions. Today comes the real life scenario of the DWP who turn their backs on people without a care in the world; in this case it was a woman who was forced to suicide taking her young child with her.

Whereas to most people who fall victim to the dark side of the welfare state having to live deeper into poverty perhaps commiting crime to survive; regardless of the situation there needs to be responsibility for actions.

First, the computer systems list your personal circumstances and this shall be taken into consideration when making the decision. In this example maybe she had an 8 month gap in 5 years making her not entitled to the benefit but didn’t they overlook that she also has a child? Read more on New Deal Scandal »
