An outraged daughter handed an urn containing her deceased mother\u2019s ashes to a disability inspector when he showed up to assess the mother\u2019s ability to work. She had passed away seven months before.<\/p>\n
Hatti Broxton said she was left \u201cangry and upset\u201d over the incident, which saw the Work and Pensions Department send a disability inspector to assess whether Hatti\u2019s mother Louise was fit to work. She claims the department had previously acknowledged the death and offered their condolences.<\/p>\n
Hatti, 27, said she had immediately informed authorities of her mother\u2019s death in August and the benefits were then ended. But she nonetheless received a letter in February addressed to her mother stating doctors would turn up at the property in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, for an assessment on March 13 between 11am and 2pm.<\/p>\n
