One of the worst injured survivors of the 7/7 bombings in London has been told to ‘prove’ he’s disabled or he’ll lose his benefits.

Dan Biddle, 36, lost both his legs, his eye and his spleen in the London attacks, which killed 52 on July 7, 2005.

But despite going through such an ordeal, Dan, who is wheelchair-bound and suffers from post-traumatic stress, has been asked to fill out a form asking him how long he can stand and how many steps he can take.

Dan, from Abergavenny, South Wales, told The Sun: ‘It is a betrayal. To be asked questions like “How long can you stand for?”



‘How insensitive is that? If this isn’t re-affirming how bad my life is going to be because of my injuries, I don’t know what is.’

The former project manager was awarded £118,000 following the attacks, but had to take on a new role within two months because he needed the money.

He then that left after a year because he found it too upsetting and began his own consultancy firm, but was forced to stop work in 2014 as he suffered from stress disorder and began claiming Employment and Support Allowance.

Yet he has now been told by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) that his money will stop if he does not fill in the form.

Dan said: ‘I got £118,000 for what happened. Does anyone think that’s adequate?

‘My wheelchair is held together with clips. I need a new one but cannot afford it. I am in this situation because my Government couldn’t protect me.’

A DWP spokesman said: ‘It’s important that people claiming Employment Support Allowance receive all the support and benefits they are entitled to which is why, on occasion, we ask for questionnaires to be completed by the claimant or their next of kin.’
