The story
Daniel Blake, a widowed 59-year-old joiner from Newcastle, has had a heart attack.
Daniel is frustrated to learn that his doctor was not contacted about this decision and thus applies for an appeal, a process Daniel finds difficult because he must complete forms online and is not computer literate.
Katie and her children have just moved to Newcastle from a homeless shelter in London, as there is no affordable accommodation.
