I have heard back from this group today. "I just wanted to let you know that I had a very comprehensive read of your excellent website - it is a brilliant source of information from the front line. I am in contact with a number of organisations about the DLA issue and that I will be discussing it with Baroness Masham, who you wrote to. What we may end up doing is to write to the relevant Minister asking for improved services to soften the blow for people whose benefit levels are lowered and to help them find sustainable incomes. However we are gathering evidence from as many groups as possible first. I will keep you in touch." I responded, "Writing to the relevant minister as you describe is welcome. Thank you. However I would draw particular attention to the process itself. It is not consistent or equitable in its application. We know it is prone to error. | 24

"I am worried that the Disability Living Allowance Review is unfair as the form is tailored towards physical disabilities only-not Mental Illness, HIV/AIDS, Cancer sufferers, nor does it take into account the side effects of the medication on their general health. Not only will people lose entitlement to Incapacity Benefit, their free travel. motability vehicle but also the Severe Disability Premium of Income Support so they will be forced into the utmost poverty, which can do nothing but harm their condition. Employers will be reluctant to offer work due to the necessity of frequent hospital visits, periods of admission and bouts of prolonged ill health. I would ask you all to support this petition in the hope this review is reassessed and to endorse the ThCell campaign." | 26
