Asked by: Tommy Sheppard (Scottish National Party - Edinburgh East)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Answer of 5 March 2014, Official Report, column 851W, what estimate he has made of the number of people who have died within six weeks of their benefits being stopped in each of the last three years.

Answered by Priti Patel
