As much as your comment pisses me off, it does have some value, in proving the title perfectly accurate - people need to start listening to disabled people more, because this is obviously an issue for many of you.

The article did include a couple of stories, you just didn't care enough to click through to the examples (or to read a shock horror short introduction to the literal information you are demanding).

And since you clearly don't give enough of a shit to make the effort, neither will I, have a copy pasta and go on with your life of wilful ignorance:

you could have clicked more than one link in the article, and reached this("people’s deaths"), which links to:
https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/dwp-disability-benefits-claimants-fail-whistleblowers/
https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/dwp-disability-benefits-assessors-pressure-ramp-up-numbers/
https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/legacy-benefits-claimant-astonished-judge-justified-discrimination/
https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/dwp-cut-back-my-disability-benefits-feared-homelessness/
All of which contain many other links, and also:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/esa-outcomes-of-work-capability-assessments-including-mandatory-reconsiderations-and-appeals-december-2022/esa-work-capability-assessments-mandatory-reconsiderations-and-appeals-december-2022

Or this("contractors")
which links to:
https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/dwp-disability-benefits-assessments-pip-westminster-debate/
https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/dwp-refused-pip-deducted-universal-credit/

Never mind the timeline the entire article about, which, if you scroll, will provide you with relevant links and information about individual deaths as well as the big picture
https://deathsbywelfare.org/timeline/#mps-refuse-to-question-minister-over-deaths-by-welfare-timeline

All you had to do was give the tiniest of shits, the information is all there.
