"This
thorough and rigorous report based on proper consultation with the
people who will be, in many cases, shockingly affected by the
government's proposed changes to DLA and the introduction of PIP, should
be right at the heart of any welfare reform. The government's
proposals are rash, short-sighted, inhumane and ultimately expensive.
The new system is already causing much stress and anxiety to so many
people who are frankly dealing with enough."

Non-partisan UK-based Disability campaign. Advocacy for people with invisible illness and/or physical & mental health conditions. Also Carers, their Families and Friends. Our individual voices are too quiet to be heard, but collectively we can shout loud enough to drown out this tide of abuse against us. Disability Hate Crime, lack of full legal protection, people in care homes costing too much to be let out and not one political party willing to fight for us.

Spot on. I've emailed it to my MP, let's hope some of them listen. Absolutely sterling work from the team behind the report.
