Weeks after surviving a cancer operation, a patient received a letter stating that her benefits had been cancelled as she had died

 

Eileen Callaby says her recovery from lung cancer is being hampered due to the financial worry created by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) stopping her benefits after mistakenly listing her as dead

Mrs Callaby , 52, who lives with her son Peter in Queen Elizabeth Avenue, Gaywood, even had to visit Lynn Job Centre on Monday with her birth certificate to prove that she is alive

 

Mrs Callaby is calling for improvements in the DWP
