The government are proposing to get rid of DLA in favour of PIP. full consultation here
Riven started a fantastic thread in Chat with the very pertinent point that this applies to everyone, that every one of us could be just one step from disability themselves.
There is NOTHING in the media about this. These proposals could mean poverty for the disabled and their families in this country. It could leave some in residential care completely isolated from their families and support networks through the removal of the mobility component.
My family has already been hit three times through the NHS, education and aiming high, via the cuts, if they now remove the money from our pockets we are going to be in a heat or eat situation.
Please MNHQ do something, as many are oblivious to these proposals and what they will mean, including those who themselves already claim DLA.
