Disability benefits bosses said deaf, blind and mute man was fit to work
Jun 1 2012
A DEAF, blind and mute man was told he was fit to work by heartless
benefits officials.
And they told John Kerr - who is confined to a wheelchair - that his money
would be axed.
He can't even communicate with his worried parents, who have both given up
their jobs to care for their son full-time.
But yesterday, they were celebrating after the Department for Work and
Pensions reversed the decision.
The 24-year-old's parents John senior and Dawn McKindlay, both 41, from
Dundee, told how they were "gutted" by the benefits threat.
They also enlisted the help of Dundee East MP Stewart Hosie in their bid
to have the move overturned.
Yesterday, John senior said: "There's no worry now. Dawn's feeling a lot
better about it, she thought his money was going to get cut.
"I'm glad it's resolved but we shouldn't have had to go through all of
this."
John's uncle Graeme Squire, who is also involved in his care, added that
the U-turn was "great news". He added: "It was a really big worry.
"There is absolutely no way John could have worked and anyone who met him
would understand that.
"I don't understand how the Government could have thought he was fit for
work in the first place. Anyone who looked at his medical records would
see that that just isn't the case."
The DWP said that they had "looked again at the facts and evidence" and
had, as a result, "changed the decision".
The case follows a shake-up by the Tories to the welfare system.
Yesterday, we told how dialysis patient Paul Mickleburgh, 53, of Aberdeen,
was told he was fit for work despite four failed transplants and 14 heart
attacks
