Benefit shortfall

Dover

Hi, I would love to find out how much our Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Trustees and members who have some influence in Parliament tried to influence the horrendous benefit cuts that are still going on today.

 Did Cheryl Gillan sign off the cuts in parliament whilst championing the Autism cause?

Did the Countess of Wessex approach the government with her worries over Autistic people?

I think I know the answers. Think, do you?

  • Vometia, I couldn't agree more with you!! The replies from some of our fellow 'members' are phrased to almost come from Conservative Central Office!!

    I as a person on benefits and I am housebound with Aspergers and Bipolar ,I am about to have my benefits halved each month as I don't fit the criteria for the new PIP benefit.

    Forget about the 27k ceiling, I have been on benefits of £140 per week, that is being halved to £70 per week. I am still obliged for this money and I wouldn't want it to be taken away from me.

    I am not the worst case, there are lots more worse off than me but have a little compassion and not allow worthy benefit claimants to be merged with the few who are abusing the system.

    As for Cheryl Gillan voting for the benefit cuts package and not wanting the benefit cuts to affect people with Autism is a wry play on words?!!!
