Welfare Reform Bill & benefit cuts

Simon's Dad

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.

  • Have had the following message from the mother of a young man with learning disabilities in Doncaster:

    "Could you please ask your friends if they would comment, and post this link anywhere they can, It is an outrage what the council are planning to do, and you like me probably know that we always have to fight for our Sons/Daughters.  Maybe just maybe we will get the right result but we will NOT lay down and let this Government/Council take away the social centre which our young disabled have used for many years and have made long term friendships and the stability which they require. Thank You again for your comments, any further ideas, input would be appreciated. Kind Regards to you and your Family"
