At a time when the UK is facing a mental health crisis, many vulnerable individuals are finding that the very system meant to support them — the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) — is adding to their distress.
Across the UK, individuals living with anxiety, PTSD, or depression — many of them full-time carers — are finding that navigating the DWP's system isn’t just stressful; it’s actively harmful. What should be a lifeline has become a bureaucratic assault course.

A new investigation has revealed that over 1.1 million people across the UK are being chased by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for benefit overpayments — many of which were caused by errors made by the department itself.

Unlike private creditors, the DWP can deduct 15% of a person’s monthly Universal Credit without warning, explanation, or a court order. For many, that means going......
