When are identical twins not identical twins? When they’re disabled and the DWP says their not.
(not satire – it’s the DWP!)
The Department of Work and Pensions has assessed two identical twins with Down’s Syndrome – born just minutes apart – and awarded one with an allowance to help his family provide round-the-clock care but refused his brother the same allowance.
In a case which shows just how arbitrary and nonsensical the DWP’s decisions on awarding disability benefits has become – one of the twins was awarded Disability Living Allowance while the other was not.
Here’s the full story from the Lancashire Evening Post:
Benefits farce hits family of Down’s Syndrome twins
Whether incompetence or just plain idiocy – the stress this kind of blundering by the DWP puts on the disabled and their families is immense and in my view is unforgivable.
Shame on them.
