DWP refuses to release briefing pack on civil servants' views about benefit deaths inquiry calls
Summary
Labour ministers have refused to release a DWP "briefing pack" that would reveal civil servants' views on repeated calls for an independent inquiry into hundreds or thousands of benefit-related deaths. Disabled activists, families of deceased claimants, and MPs have been demanding an inquiry for years into deaths caused by DWP actions, policies, and failings, but the government is withholding internal documents that could shed light on its position.
