A coroner has concluded for the first time that a man with severe mental illness killed himself as a direct result of being found “fit to work” by the Government’s outsourced disability assessors.Michael O’Sullivan, a 60-year-old father from north London, hanged himself after his disability benefits were removed despite the opinion of three doctors that he was suffering from recurrent depression and certified as unable to work by his GP.Figures released last month by the Department for Work and Pensions showed that nearly 90 people died every month between 2011 and 2014 after they had been declared fit for employment after undergoing a work capability assessment (WCA).Ministers insisted that the statistics provided no basis for a link to the Government’s welfare reforms. But it has now emerged that a coroner ruled in the case of Mr O’Sullivan that the WCA and anxiety caused to him by its findings were the direct cause of his death.Mary Hassell, the senior coroner for inner north London, wrote to the DWP warning that she believed there was a risk of similar deaths in future and demanding preventative action.
Fear of being outdoors?Shut the fuck up and act like a man. I have had GAD my whole life. Sometimes you need to suck it the fuck up and do what's necessary in life.

What's the retirement age in the UK Meta?60 seems a little steep to still be working. Anybody who's currently 60 in my country is on their pension.

Anybody who's currently 60 in my country is on their pension.65, but it's going to keep creeping up as the years go on.It's the same here in Canada. The current retirement age is now pushing 68.But that doesn't mean people who are currently 60 as of today get their pension cut off because the rate has changed today. Then again that's my country. What do you suppose the retirement age was in yours when that guy started working?
