Colin Traynor RIP

[45002]

I would like publicly offer my condolences to the family of Colin Traynor for there loss..

 

Colin Traynor RIP

 

The parents of a disabled man who died after being found fit for work tell Channel 4 News the system isn't working. Colin Traynor's appeal against the decision was granted, but too late.

I'm surprised that there aren't more stories like this, to be perfectly honest. I keep waiting for the spike in suicides, as well.

 

My heart goes out to his family - I would be absolutely beside myself with rage.

RIP. Something must be done about this. It is disgusting. Many people have died (does the 32 a week include the terminally ill in the support group?) and I really don't think this is going to change.

Many have actually killed themselves because they have been found fit for work. If that wasn't the fault of ATOS / DWP, whose fault was it?

I think there are more stories; but they often go unreported.

sadly, stress can adversely affect all sorts of conditions, which leads to tragedies like this from what is unecessary stress.
