The Urgent Need to Safeguard Vulnerable Claimants: A Call for Action
No amount of talking or investigations will bring back the people who felt they had no way out. This system has not only claimed lives but also created a ripple effect of grief for families who mourn their loved ones every day.

Assuming that a disabled person is capable of performing certain tasks or stepping outside their comfort zone without considering their individual limitations can lead to significant legal breaches. Such assumptions may violate the Equality Act 2010, particularly the duty to make reasonable adjustments, as forcing someone to undertake activities beyond their capacity disregards their health and well-being.
Universal Credit’s Tactics Evidence and Potential Legal Violations
