Also if you click on the link in the copied email i posted above, (Senior minister confirmes DLA is under threat) you will see quotes directly from Lord McKenzie of Luton, who is the Parliamentary under secretary of States for Work and Pensions, where he clearly says, even after specifically being questioned on DLA that the Government are "Considering ALL disability benefits"
This is a real threat trust me, and Governments must be made to realise that this is deplorable!

I'm sorry, that isn't the concrete evidence I was seeking, that financial benefits would be cut.
'Looked at' and 'considering', isn't proof that benefits would diminish.
In the trials for a new system, details of which I gave way back in this thread, it showed the cost of an improved service is initally more expensive, but in the long term it is hoped that it will be more cost effective, because more people would be able to live in their own homes for longer, and there wouldn't be the need for as many people to have full time residential care, until they perhaps need it later.
I'm sorry to disagree, but in theory, and at this stage that's all this Green Paper is, I support the idea.
