London, UK. 13 July 2016. ' Cuts Kill' states a palcard, and a banner lists around a hundred known deaths due to sanctions and benefit cuts, just a small fraction of the estimated 8-10,000 deaths at a protest by disabled protesters and supporters at the Vauxhall PIP consultation Centre in Vauxhall, one of the centres where ATOS carry out sham Personal Independence Payments 'assessments' on behalf of the DWP. Faulty by design and conducted without proper consideration of medical evidence and with a financial incentive to fail claimants. Many genuine claimants lose essential benefits for months
