Our son Simon is 29 and in residential care. He is severely learning disabled with a mental age of less than 2 and autistic. Our great fear at the moment is the removal of mobility allowance for disabled people in care. The Welfare Reform Bill, published 17 February 2011, makes clear the coalition government intend to press ahead with removing mobility payments to anyone in a care home.
Look forward to discussing this and other benefit cuts issues with anyone concerned.
