Errol Graham Family
His daughter-in-law Alison Turner said it was “heartbreaking… it’s horrific for someone to die like that.”
The case was raised in the Commons by Debbie Abrahams MP, where she called for an independent inquiry into cases where people had died after Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) reviews of their care.
Cause of Death
The inquest into Mr Graham’s death in June 2018 heard he’d had a history of depression.
His GP and the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust agreed to have him sectioned in 2015, but he returned home to Pine View flats, Radford after a matter of days.

After this he was rarely seen, missing several GP appointments and refusing approaches from mental health teams.
Mr Graham also ignored repeated contact from the DWP and his employment and support allowance (ESA) was stopped in August 2017. This also affected his housing benefit, which ceased on 10 October.
The medical cause of death was recorded as starvation.
Assistant coroner Dr Elizabeth Didcock said: “The sudden loss of all income, and the threat of eviction that followed from it, will have caused huge distress and worry, and significant financial hardship.
Miss Turner told the BBC: “It is heartbreaking, horrific, for someone to die like that. The failure he suffered, he didn’t deserve it.
“It is shocking. The system is not fit for purpose.
“He was without money for six to eight months.
“Errol could not physically bring himself to talk to strangers or ask for that level of help and if he hadn’t have lost it he would still be here today.”
Sophie Corlett, from mental health charity Mind, said: “It is the most vulnerable who we hear are slipping through the net.
“This gentleman and many people have lifelong conditions that are unlikely to change and yet they are recalled again and again for face to face assessments which people find very challenging.”
Investigation Report
The DWP said it was establishing a serious case panel to review its work.
A spokesman added: “This is a tragic, complex case and our sympathies are with Mr Graham’s family.” “It is likely that this loss of income, and housing, were the final and devastating stressors, that had a significant effect on his mental health.
“The safety net that should surround vulnerable people like Errol in our society had holes within it.”
