Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, shadow chancellor John McDonnell and columnist Owen Jones are just some of the voices piling pressure on the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) following the death of Liverpool man Stephen Smith.
This weekend the ECHO reported the sad news that Stephen had died - just months after he was forced to get a pass out of hospital to fight the DWP for the benefits he had been wrongly denied.
Weighing just six stone, Stephen was seriously ill with a range of illnesses - but had been told he was fit to look for work and denied crucial support despite doctors letters warning of his deteriorating health.
It is not clear at this stage how Stephen died - but thousands of people have spoken of how his lengthy and draining battle with the government will not have helped his condition.
Pressure is being piled on the DWP, with calls for an inquiry into how Stephen was treated.
The ECHO has also asked the department whether Secretary of State Amber Rudd will respond to the situation.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn responded to Stephen's death by stating: "Stephen should never have suffered at the hands of the DWP when he most needed support.
"Let’s replace outsourced cruelty with common sense and compassion in our social security system."
Mr Corbyn's number two, shadow chancellor John McDonnell echoed the sentiments, stating: "I send my condolences to the family and friends of Stephen Smith.

"I also wish to thank the CASA for all the assistance they gave Stephen. Nobody should have to endure what Stephen went through. Too many still are. Let’s get this sorted."
Guardian columnist Owen Jones was equally as outraged by the treatment of Stephan.
He tweeted out the ECHO's story, with the stark warning: "In years to come, we will will look back at this horrific story as an example of how broken and unjust our social order in 2019 actually was."
There has been a huge response to the news of Stephen's death, with thousands expressing their anger, sadness and frustration at how he was treated in the months before his death.
Many have called for an inquiry into what took place - and many others have urged Mr Corbyn to raise the case at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.
Mr Craven and the team at the CASA centre in Liverpool have launched a fundraising campaign to try and support their work to help others in Stephen's position.
