The worst injured survivor of the London 7/7 bombings has been told he needs to prove that he is disabled to receive benefits.
Daniel Biddle, 36, suffered a number of severe injuries, including losing his legs and one eye, but has only been claiming employment benefits since 2014, when his PTSD prevented him from working long hours.
Wheelchair-bound Mr Biddle, from Abergavenny, South Wales, is now being asked to answer questions about the level of his disability and may be forced to undergo a face-to-face test.

'It is a betrayal,' Mr Biddle, who receives £416 a month in Employment and Support Allowance, told The Sun.
'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.'
At the time of the attacks on July 7, 2005, Mr Biddle was travelling on the Circle Line during his morning commute when Mohammed Siddique Khan detonated a home-made bomb at Edgware Station.
Siddique Khan and three other British-born Al Qaeda suicide bombers blew up three London Underground trains and a double decker bus, killing 52 people.

Mr Biddle, a former projects manager for a construction firm, lost both legs, his left eye, his spleen, the hearing in his left ear, and was not expected to survive after losing 87 pints of blood in subsequent operations, and suffering two heart attacks.
Mr Biddle, who was awarded £118,000 from the criminal injuries compensation board, had to go back to work full time two months after his discharge from hospital on June 31, 2006, because he couldn't afford not to.
He returned to his old job in a new role, but left after a year because he found it too upsetting to be constantly reminded of the work he once did as a fit, healthy young man.
Having retrained, he set up a consultancy firm working with the NHS, retailers and hotels to make their buildings more accessible.
However, his post-traumatic stress disorder eventually took its toll and in 2014 he was forced to scale down his working hours.
Now, the Department of Work and Pensions has sent him a form which needs to be completed in order for him to be able to claim ESA.
The DWP told the Sun that the questionnaire is an important step in ensuring claimants receive the benefits they are entitled to.
