IMPORTANT Advice For Relatives Of “Wrongly” Deceased Benefit Clamants
Respected blogger Mike Sivier reminds readers of Vox Political today that Catalina Devandas Aguilar, the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities, is expected to visit the UK in the coming months to spearhead an inquiry into claims that Britain is guilty of ‘grave or systematic violations’ of the rights of the disabled.
He strongly urges anyone who feels they have lost a family member due to a poor Work Capability Assessment result to contribute to the upcoming inquiry.
He informs readers, very importantly, that anyone who feels they have lost a family member as a result of a wrong WCA result is entitled to be given a copy of the deceased’s full DWP and Work Capability Assessment (WCA) files, and request sight of the Coroner’s report from HM Coroner, not from the DWP.
He provides the following address to send these documents to, along with covering letters of explanation:
United Nations Human Rights
Jorge Araya
Secretary of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Groups in Focus Section
Human Rights Treaties Division
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
OHCHR-Palais des Nations,
8-14 Avenue de la Paix,
CH-1211 Geneva 10,
Switzerland.
E-mail: jaraya@ohchr.org
As Mike Sivier puts it, this won’t bring anybody’s relative back, but it could help prevent the loss of thousands more.
