Victims of the DWP 
This is taken from the following Guardian comments section.

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jan/03/benefits-sanctions-leading-suicides-dwp-depression

Anyone can trace through Google a tragic list of over a thousand per year of welfare austerity deaths of UK's sick and vulnerable and disabled over recent years. These are additional to the 25,000 per year excess excess Winter deaths in hospital or at home from malnutrition and hypothermia due to poverty. There are also many suspicious deaths in custody involving private firms hired as thugs to enforce government atrocities.
Government statistics indicate that between January 2011 and November 2011, 10,600 sick and disabled people died within six weeks of their benefit claim being ended. Such was the furore about this figure, the DWP has stopped using ATOS data to count the number of deaths.
You may wish to compile your own memorial list.
