Disabled man starved to death after DWP stopped his benefits

MPs call for inquiry into case of Errol Graham, 57, who weighed 28.5kg when he was found dead.

MPs and campaigners have called for an independent inquiry after it emerged a disabled man with a long history of mental illness starved to death just months after welfare officials stopped his out-of-work and housing benefits.

Errol Graham's family tells DWP to act after he starved to death.

Family of 57-year-old who starved to death say safeguarding systems are inadequate.

Graham’s death, which came to light earlier this week, is the latest in a series of tragedies involving the deaths of highly vulnerable people who had their benefits stopped for failing to comply with DWP requests, often because they were ill at the time.

Turner said she wanted to understand why DWP officials had not done more to establish her father-in-law’s health and state of mind before cutting off his unemployment and housing benefits in October 2017, leaving him without income.
