Full report: People considering suicide after losing ill-health benefits, says charity

Mind in Gateshead says that the Government's back-to-work scheme does not take mental health seriously enough and is forcing people back to work too soon. A review into the scheme published today recommends that benefits assessors get more training around mental health. Dan Ashby reports.
