"Those who give the order seldom see the mess it makes" — from 'The Trojan Women' by Euripides, adapted by Jean-Paul Sartre

This is far from the only time a desperate claimant has been placed in a position where the only response they have is one of anger or pain. Last year a claimant set themselves on fire outside Selly Oak job centre, and staff at JCPs have been given training to deal with suicidal claimants.....
