Government officials have carried out at least 150 reviews after people claiming benefits died or came to serious harm - including a couple from Warwickshire.

More than 175 teens in Bracknell Forest stripped of disability benefits after 16th birthday More than 175 children in Bracknell Forest were stripped of disability benefits after their 16th birthday, figures show. More than two in five young people who claimed Disability Living Allowance in childhood failed to qualify for the adult version of the benefit, Personal Independence Payment. Disability charity Scope said the number of young people losing disability benefits at 16 was unacceptable and said the PIP assessment process was fundamentally flawed and in need of an overhaul. Around 181 young claimants in the area - 45% - saw their benefit award rates increase or stay the same after moving to PIP but 178 had their awards withdrawn, according to data from the Department of Work and Pensions.
