As Brexit distracted us, the DWP released some truly horrific figures
Update: This article was updated at 10:20pm on Wednesday 13 June to include a comment from Esther McVey and additional statistics from the DWP.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) released a large cache of statistics while all eyes were on the EU Withdrawal Bill. The figures are the most complete picture publicly available to date of the reforms surrounding disability benefits. They show a system struggling to cope, and disabled people being denied benefits in record numbers. Disabled people have responded by accusing work and pensions secretary Esther McVey of “lying” to parliament.
