Benefit cuts for disabled people in hospital called unfair

Benefit cuts for disabled people in hospital called unfair Thousands of disabled people have had their benefits paused during extended hospital stays under a rule charities say penalises the most vulnerable.

It comes after a court case was withdrawn which had been set to challenge the lawfulness of the so-called hospitalisation rule.

One affected family lost more than £5,000 in benefit payments while their disabled son was in hospital. BBC News
