I agree with all what you say about making the system simpler Garinda and making the care and the associated benefits easier to access, however this should not be at the expense of the cash benefits that disabled people need, and rely upon for the increased costs of their disability. This is the aspect to which i am drawing attention, and it is this part of the Green paper which i, and many others are opposing! Making a system better should not need to mean making individuals poorer!
