Abstract

In 2014, a long continuing battle began to find out more about Government record-keeping on the deaths of disabled people claiming benefits. Drawing on a timeline of evidence co-produced with disabled people, we analyse how deaths related to the benefits system are an outcome of slow violence, where both the delay between policies and their harmful effects, as well as the more active use of delay tactics, are central to how the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) weaponise time as a strategy to avoid accountability and deny justice. DWP reviews into deaths are an under-researched yet significant focus because they are (supposedly) tools through which the DWP investigates the harms of its own policies, and yet, they are designed and carried out in a way that systemically invisibilise state accountability.

福利战争中的武器化时间：英国社会保障体系中缓慢的暴力和残疾人死亡

2014年，一场旷日持久的斗争开始深入了解政府对申请福利的残疾人死亡的记录。根据与残疾人共同制作的证据时间表，我们分析了与福利制度相关的死亡是如何由缓慢的暴力造成的，政策之间的延迟及其有害影响，以及更积极地使用延迟策略，是工作和养老金部（DWP）如何将时间武器化作为避免问责和拒绝司法的战略的核心。DWP对死亡事件的审查是一个研究不足但意义重大的焦点，因为它们（据说）是DWP调查其自身政策危害的工具，然而，它们的设计和执行方式却系统地隐形了国家问责制。
