Disabled Mother's Suicide Ruled: Benefit Withdrawal Error Blamed

A coroner has ruled that the death of Jodey Whiting, a disabled mother, was a suicide. Her mental health significantly deteriorated after her state benefits were mistakenly withdrawn. Jodey's mother, Joy, gave a heartbreaking interview to Good Morning Britain, describing the devastating impact on her family. 'What gets me, and it always will, is they’ve never seen her face,' Joy said, highlighting the lack of personal contact and support. The interview highlights the potential consequences of administrative errors in the benefits system and the importance of adequate support for vulnerable individuals. The DWP has been contacted for comment. ITV provides helplines for those affected by similar issues.
