From the above article:

FACTBOX: Benefit Blocks And Delays – The Figures

Figures obtained by the MP Madeleine Moon through a Parliamentary Question show:

7,990 people died within six months of a claim for the disability benefit Personal Independence Payment (PIP) being registered

570 people had their PIP claim refused before it had been seen by an assessment provider, meaning the decision was made by an administrator

1,460 PIP claims were disallowed because people failed an assessment

780 PIP claims were disallowed because people did not attend an assessment

A reminder that we pay with our blood for maintaining the privileges of the few.
