«Breaking News» Ill father found hanged by his own daughter just days before Christmas

A chronically ill father who hanged himself was found dead by his daughter after he was ruled fit to work - despite doctors concluding he was too ill to do his job.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) assessors had stopped Kevin Dooley's employment support allowance after a consultation.

His daughter Leanne found out that her father, who was a painter and decorator prior to suffering breathing problems caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lost his appeal.

She said: 'Christmas will never be the same for our family. The Department for Work and Pensions should be disgusted with themselves.

'Over the last year Dad's illness got worse, and he got less mobile. Whoever deemed him fit for work is a disgrace.'

The father-of-three was signed off from work five years ago and was living off £70 a week ESA benefits and housing support.

Leanne, 27, said her father wanted to work but was physically unable. She added that he fell into depression following a hearing at Leeds Centre for Health and Disability Assessments, run by outsourcing firm Maximus for the DWP.

She added: 'He needed regular haematology appointments and was on three inhalers, steroids and antibiotics,' said the mum of two.

'But because he could walk to the shop and at times minded his grandkids, they said he could work.' 

Following his failed appeal, Leanne said her father became suicidal and became increasingly concerned about becoming homless.

She said: 'He worried he'd be homeless as he had to reapply for housing support. He said he thought taking his life was the only way out.'

Mr Dooley decided to see a doctor, who ruled he was too ill to work.

The family planned to take his case to a tribunal, but on December 17, Leanne along with her twin sisters Paige and Collette, 18, received a goodbye message from their father which said 'I love you'.

She found her father at home and he died three days later. She now plans on telling her father's ordeal at his inquest, and puts the blame solely down to the DWP.

She said: 'He took his life because of what they did to him.' 

The Centre for Health and Disability Assessments said: 'We make an assessment of how conditions impact on day-to-day life so DWP can make a decision on an individual's eligibility for benefits.'

The DWP said a Universal Credit advance payment had been made to Mr Dooley on December 8 after the ESA appeal rejection letter on November 29.

Mr Dooley was also appealing the decison to work made on his ESA claim to an independent tribunal.  

It said his 'work requirement' had been turned off because he told his work coach he would be challenging the appeal decision. 

A DWP spokesperson said: 'Our thoughts are with Mr Dooley's family at this difficult time.'

The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
