Not all organisations that represent disabled people are opposed to this green paper, and welcome the changes it could bring, and which it would be harder for those feigning disability to abuse.
'There was universal support at the roundtable for the green paper's proposal to create a single needs assessment for a disabled person that would be "portable" – recognised by any local authority wherever an individual lived in England. Seen as a landmark in social care policy, the new assessment would break down one of the biggest barriers to social and economic mobility cited by people with a disability. One participant described it as a "huge leap forward."
