I have experienced appalling treatment from Jobcentre Plus and DWP staff first-hand. This has had a significant and adverse effect on my mental health.

A public inquiry could review cases involving claimants with mental health issues, and make recommendations for reform to ensure that claimants are treated fairly and appropriately in future.
