Errol Graham, 57, was found dead in his flat eight months after his benefits were withdrawn.
BBC News
His housing benefits had been stopped after he did not respond to the Department for Work and Pension's repeated requests for information to review his entitlement to ESA. Repeating concerns from Mr Graham's family over the DWP's "honesty and transparency", she said the lack of independent reviews of deaths of other claimants indicated efforts to "avoid any form of scrutiny or accountability".
Labour's Lilian Greenwood, whose Nottingham South constituency covers the flat where Mr Graham died, said failing to share the 2014 assessment could mean the DWP "did not assist the local authority in its really important duty" to review all the evidence.
