Not ME but nevertheless...

Authorities who dealt with a benefits claim from a single mother, who took a fatal overdose after her payments were cut, made 28 errors in managing her case, a coroner has found.

Philippa Day, 27, was found collapsed at her Nottingham home beside a letter rejecting her request for an at-home benefits assessment in August 2019.

She died after two months in a coma.

Nottingham Coroner's Court heard the way her claim was dealt with was the "predominant factor" in her overdose.
