Brian McArdle dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/atos-killed-my-dad-says-boy-1411100 Sadly too late for Brian McArdle. But we PLEAD with the DWP, Government and Parliament: Please make welfare reform SAFE and FIT FOR PURPOSE. 25. Christopher Charles Harness thisislincolnshire.co.uk/Lincolnshire-man-mental-health-issues-hanged-day/story-16478870-detail/story.html An inquest at Louth Sessions House, was told Mr Harness was looked after by carer Lorraine Ruth Jones, but his mental state had deteriorated after hearing his funding was to be withdrawn. This website list tries not to be political, but unfortunately the issue is. Critics, please try some decency and compassion. Detractors say that there is no evidence. A THREE hour debate by CROSS-PARTY MPs in the House of Commons on 17th January 2013 clearly showed there is a UK wide problem. Some MPs have up to ONE THIRD of their constituency mailbag and case-load taken up with current welfare reform problems. PLEASE make welfare reform better. PLEASE make it SAFE, FAIR and FIT FOR PURPOSE. 26. Karen Sherlock welshfocus.co.uk/2012/06/the-death-of-karen-sherlock/ and welshdisabilityforum.co.uk/2012/06/the-death-of-karen-sherlock/ Karen Sherlock - “How many more disabled people will die frightened that their benefits will be taken away?” diaryofabenefitscrounger.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/rip-karen-sherlock.html Karen Sherlock faced endless pressure, the judgement of society, the fear of destitution, the exhaustion of constant WCA and ESA assessments and endless forms – all as she battled to survive, and help other disabled people with what energy she was able to muster through her own overwhelming disablements. Karen eventually died of a suspected heart attack on 8th June 2012. Rest In Peace Karen, you cared for others and did your bit to help. 27. Carl Payne newsandstar.co.uk/news/inquest-hears-of-cumbrian-dad-s-health-benefits-worries-1.966288?referrerPath=news Fears over losing his incapacity benefits and concerns about his health led a Whitehaven father-of-two to take his own life, an inquest has ruled. H.M. Coroner David Roberts concluded: “It is clear that he was worried that his benefits would be affected, and although he had no immediate financial worries and plenty of family support, he was perhaps concerned about depending too much on his family.” 28.

Peter Hodgson whitehavennews.co.uk/news/fears-over-benefits-led-to-tragedy-1.1024319?# Fears over benefits led to tragedy: Christine Graham discovered Peter Hodgson dead at his home just a day after he received a text telling him to attend the Job Centre. “After the text, he just said: ‘I give up’,” quotes Christine, who was with Peter for 13 years. “He didn’t plan to kill himself,” she said. “I believe the text triggered him. He was terrified they would stop his money as he had four loans. He couldn’t handle stress and would worry.” Mr Hodgson, was unable to work after he suffered a brain haemorrhage and a stroke and had his leg fused following a football injury. He had previous worked as a life-guard. 30. Colin Traynor oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/8/news-headlines/73317/benefits-cuts-blamed-for-sons-fatal-seizure
