‘And what earthly reason is there not to cut benefits, once you convince yourself that anyone claiming them is a workshy fraudster on the make?’
~ What, you mean like ‘Labour’ have done yet again by today’s announcements promising to cut the mythical horde of workshy scroungers off ‘if they refuse work’, Gaby Hinsliff?

e-petition - Stop Unfair Re-assessments For Disabled People
Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions
Stop the unfair and cruel re-assessments via ATOS for disabled people currently on Incapacity Benefit. ESA is a flawed benefit, and puts terrible pressure and stress on vulnerable people, putting people who cannot work on lesser benefits and applying sanctions. Let disabled people decide for themselves if they can work, they and their carers know best.

A brilliant new development for the wonderful young disabled people of the UK. Encourage any young disabled person you know to join Jack in standing up to the bullies.
“My name is Jack and I am 8.
I am starting a Young Disabled People Against Cuts Group, so children can protest together with the help of our guardians.
We need as many young people as we can get to join in with YDPAC. ( Young Disabled People Against Cuts)
I wish the Government was not making the cuts. If it was up to me, I would ban them from making cuts!
Young people are affected by the cuts faced by our guardians. If my mum doesn’t get her car before 2 years is up we won’t get a car because of the cuts. When we’re 16 we may lose our DLA, and other benefits and help we rely on now.
If you want to get involved with YDPAC let me know via mail@dpac.uk.net”

And while the country is coming to it’s senses and before they are kicked out, demand that they do something with their time and call for a Cumulative Impact Assessment of Welfare Reform, and a New Deal for sick & disabled people based on their needs, abilities and ambitions
