Dad who took his own life days before Christmas after benefits stopped left granddaughter gift
A heartbroken daughter whose dad took his own life days before Christmas after his benefits were stopped has spoken of his thoughtfulness, as he ordered presents for his grandchildren before his death.
Leanne met the Shadow Home Secretary in Parliament last month to plead for changes in the way that disabled claimants are treated by the Department for Work and Pensions . Kevin was a devoted father and a fit and healthy man when he was younger. He was a painter and decorator and great at DIY. Then in July 2018, Kevin was notified by the DWP that he would have to attend a fit to work assessment. Kevin believed that the appointment was simply routine, but he was told at his benefits would be stopped.
"By now, it was just a week before Christmas and so I was really busy with nativity plays and Christmas shopping. I was working and also looking after my dad and my daughters. "I had to go ahead with Christmas, for my daughters. We got a bauble with Dad's photo on and kept his ashes at home. The tragedy was, I'd planned to give him a lump sum of cash for Christmas, but of course he never got to know that."
