The devastated daughter of an East Lothian dad with incurable blood cancer has hit out at the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) after he was denied benefits because his illness 'doesn't affect his life enough'.
Paul Swain, from Haddington, is undergoing intensive chemotherapy but may now be forced to stop his treatment so he can go back to work.
The 55-year-old was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in February 2021, just five years after losing son James, 30, to the disease in 2016.
