The family of a woman who took her own life after her benefit payments were cut have began legal proceedings against the government. Phillippa Day was found collapsed in her home in Nottingham in August 2019 with a letter beside her rejecting her request for an at-home benefits assessment. The 27-year-old single mother was taken to hospital but never regained consciousnesses and died after two months in a coma. Leigh Day, who represents Ms Day's family, have sent a letter of claim on the family's behalf to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Capita, the company engaged to carry out the PIP assessment.
