A CANCER victim who lost his leg in a battle with the disease has had his benefits stopped and told he must go back to work.



Eddie Kewley, of Laycock Gate, Layton, was confined to a wheelchair after he was diagnosed with bone cancer and his left leg was amputated four years ago.

But following a medical assessment under tough new Government guidelines, the 40-year-old has been passed fit by doctors and his payments were stopped immediately.

Mr Kewley’s Emergency and Support Allowance (ESA) payments were stopped in March and the former labourer says he will soon have no money left unless his case is re-looked at.

Limb

He told The Gazette: “Every job I’ve had since I left school has been manual labour and I think they are expecting me to work in an office, which I’m not qualified for.”

The father-of-two does have a prosthetic limb, but is unable to wear it after falling and injuring his knee six months ago and is now awaiting an operation.

He added: “To be awarded ESA you need to get more than 15 points in your assessment but I was only awarded nine because I can propel myself in a wheelchair.

“I thought they were having a laugh when they told me. It’s absolutely ridiculous because I’m not capable of working.

Bullst. He's lost half his leg and whilst it is unfortunate he had cancer I'm not sure why he now feels he's unable to work. Well, apart from the huge sense of entitlement obviously.

According to the comments his leg was amputated 4 years ago and it's only in the last 6 months he's had issues with his prosthetic leg. I'll hazard a guess that in those previous four years he's done nothing to further his situation.
