And it is indeed a tangled web that the DWP is weaving! The Department of Work and Pensions will not withdraw its appeal against the "death stats" being released - A date has been set for November 10th But The Department of Work and Pensions has set the 27th August as the date they will release the "death stats" ???Puzzled??? Me too, but it's all down to 'Age-Standardised Mortality Rates' The DWP wants us to believe that it is being entirely open and honest about the number of fatalities, by providing a fudged ratio of deaths per a certain number of the population, rather than the actual number of deaths. The appeal on November 10 is the DWP's attempt to prevent the actual number of deaths from being released. As I said "O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!" Don't be fooled! Read Mike Sivier's Analysis of the situation here: http://voxpoliticalonline.com/2015/08/19/date-set-for-tribunal-hearing-over-benefit-related-deaths/
