Protest welfare reforms, cuts & sanctions
Kentish Town, London. Tue 18 Jul 2017
Rev Paul Nicolson talks about his refusal to pay council tax outside
Kentish Town Jobcentreplus
The protest was part of DPACs week of action for the London World
Para Athletics Championships which they
say the government supports to cover up the way they are targeting
disabled people, many who have already
died as a result of benefit changes and the DWP's deliberate policy
of attrition with largely arbitrary sanctions
and unfairly administered tests of fitness to work. Claire Glasman
of Winvisible holds a poster as she talks about this.
Larence Bond collapsed and died from a heart attack in January minutes
after leaving Kentish Town Jobcentre where he had been told he was fit to
work
He was waiting for the result of his second appeal against his work
capability assessment and his Employment and Support Allowance had been
cut.

death after Kent council stopped their food vouchers
