He was unable to even stand

A starving man denied vital benefits after being deemed ‘fit to find work’ despite being unable to even stand, has died.His case hit the headlines when shocking photographs of his emaciated body weighing just six stone were published following the ruling he was fit and capable of finding work.

But he was forced to get a pass out from hospital to go and fight the decision by the Department of Work and Pensions which repeatedly denied him benefits. He won the appeal after a tribunal judge saw he could barely walk down the street let alone hold down a job.And after finally agreeing to re-instate his benefit, the DWP confirmed he would also receive back-payments for the money he was wrongly denied.

Mr Smith suffered with a number of serious conditions for several years, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis and an enlarged prostate. He also had a colostomy bag.
