Mrs Johnson, from Scarborough, attended her hospital appointment in March 2023.

The mother-of-two said: "I gave them my letter and their first words were, ‘ooh you’re dead’.

"I said, ‘pardon?’. I was in shock.

…

The retired housekeeper contacted her GP and was told the mistake had been fixed.

However, when she contacted the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) the bemused call handler told her: “On the computer you’re dead”.

"I said, ‘I’m not, I’m still talking to you’.
