What a terribly sad story. My heart goes out to this poor man's family and also to others who are in the same position.

I do so understand where the man and others are coming from. I was initially put on incapacity benefit due to depression and severe anxiety. I can control my mind. But recently I had to go for my medical and, well I had to take diazepam and my hubby had to hold me to try and keep me calm.
Now with arthritis as well. I know I couldn't cope with going back to work. Why don't they see this. Well, they do don't they, it has been bought to their attention. But nothing will change.
Rant over. Sorry.0 -
So sad Unsure
Dreadful that some people feel pushed that far
Sensible of them to add the samaritans number at the end of the article.0 -
He had all the medical backing yet they still suggested he was fit for work. He must have felt totally helpless.
