Apologies for Daily Wail. There are lots of other articles on this from better sources (I recommend looking at those too), but this was the only one I found that mentions why she wasn’t on benefits.
It’s a sad story. It seems to have taken a long time to get to this stage. She was discovered in 2021 – what’s happened since then?
The questions and interrogation techniques used in disability evaluations are disgusting
This is so sad. I’ve been through the PIP process, and it’s an absolute disgrace the way they treat people. I spent about five minutes talking to a person who had no medical experience at my medical examination, and it left me feeling worthless. I ended up taking it a tribunal after nearly nine months later to win my claim.
You deserved better, Laura. Rest in peace. ❤️
The way the bloke quoted in the article refers to benefits claimants as “customers” seems a bit… bizarre. Doesn’t sit right with me that.
I find it astonishing someone can be gone for four years without increasingly aggressive attempts to find them. She was obviously isolated but there were minor attempts to work out where she is that were clearly abandoned quickly
As usual, everyone is blaming “them.” We have the institutions and procedures we voted for for 14 years. Everyone who chose to vote on stupid culture war stuff or for Boris because they loved his arrogance also voted to hurt the vulnerable.
Why are people against doing anything to prove they need government assistance. It may be a little unpleasant but what else can we do. We’re lucky to get anything at all.
I went through applying for pip and filled out my questionnaire.
Got zero points on assesment obviously including zero on communicating verbally. Even though you score 2 points for a hearing aid.
I was wearing my bone anchored hearing aid during the assessment which is a hearing aid that’s secured to the skull by drilling into it. But no, zero points.
Luckily won at tribunal
This is truly horrific and why did she remain undicoveted for so long ?Noone gives a shit !
