Crippen Cartoons cartoons at the cutting edge of disability

Ah, now it’s starting to make more sense …

Blundering civil servants in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) mistakenly sent more than half a BILLION pounds to deceased people in just five years, official figures reveal. And apparently there’s no legal obligation for families to return the money.

So, these exagerated claims by the DWP that disabled people are ripping off the benefits system is nothing more than a fabrication, designed to cover up their own costly incompetence. Who best to blame when the books don’t balance? Why, disabled people of course!

As usual the DWP declined to comment! 

Description of cartoon for those using screen reading software

A group of people are standing around an open grave as a vicar reads the sermon. An open newspaper on the ground reads ‘DWP pay out 1/2 billion to pensioners who have recently died!’. Also standing alongside the grave is a man in a suit identified as being a ‘bailiff’ and another man as being with the DWP. The bailiff is saying to the vicar: “If the DWP don’t get their money back, we’re going to have to repossess the coffin!”
