I wrote to the new chair, David Borrows MP, some weeks ago when he was elevated to the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on HIV/AIDS.

As well as mentioning "Ageing with HIV" I also wrote about the benefit issues HIV+ people in the UK were facing. I asked him "what did the APPG HIV/AIDS do for HIV+ people in the UK and how was it relevant?".

I met him a few weeks ago at an APPG HIV/AIDS event.

Click here to download his response (pdf) as well as the letter written by the APPG HIV/AIDS to the Rt. Hon. James Purnell Secretary of State for Work & Pensions. Raising our issues in relation to the Employment & Support Allowance.

Thank you to the APPG for its support.

John.

David has raised many valid issues and concerns regarding Welfare Reform and how it affects people living with HIV/AIDS but I note that he wrote to James Purnell back in October so when does he hope to receive a response to that letter?

I will follow up on this. John.

 I will be interested if they get a direct response where many have not.
