Father Refused Benefits Because He Is Not Disabled Enough Despite Loosing A Leg

Removal man and professional gardener Dean Williams, 25, from Great Billing, had to have his left leg removed by doctors after he was involved in a collision with a car in a pub car park, completely crushing his limb against a wall. Now unable to work and with dyslexia hampering other career choices, he has applied for a ‘personal independence payment’. But the Department of Work and Pensions said he does not qualify for the benefit as it insists he can stand up and move 200 metres.
