I assure you my head certainly isn't in the sand. I personally know there is a clear case of newly diagnosed people not accessing the help that's available, because the current sysyem is so...

Like I said I'm not Mystic Meg, and until there's any concrete evidence that 'possible' becomes 'actual' or even 'proposed', I'll then join you on the barricades. :D

Replies: 113 Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? Views: 6,094 Posted By garinda Re: Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? I prefer to deal with actual evidence, not being Mystic Meg. In the event of Labour not winning the next General Election, which seems highly likely, this Green Paper stands little to no chance of...

I know your situation Taggy, as you know mine, and I'm not being purposely obtuse, but again there is nothing there saying there will be cuts in the money that disabled people receive. It might...

Replies: 113 Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? Views: 6,094 Posted By garinda Re: Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? 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...

Replies: 113 Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? Views: 6,094 Posted By garinda Re: Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? If you can show me anywhere on the Green Paper, where it says financial benefits will be cut, then of course I would oppose it too. I honestly haven't seen any evidence that this is proposed. Just...

Without going over old ground, I do know, and even though I'm fairly compos mentis, I found the present system a nightmare to understand and access, and do think it could be made a whole lot easier...

Devils, plural, and that's as long as you know of their existance in the first place, and know how to contact them, in their devilishly inaccessible and varied locations. ;) Whoops, thought I'd...

Last word, and I'm sorry to say it, but opposition to any change, even when it's been proven in the pilot schemes to benefit those most in need, smacks of 'I'm alright Jack', and sod making it easier...

Many aren't aware, just as I wasn't aware for a long time, of the existance of Welfare Rights. When the new changes happen, which they will, Welfare Rights will lose some of their burden, because...

I think we'll have to disagree on this one Bernie. I doubt I'll say anything to allay your fear of the changes that are needed, and visa versa, because I most genuinely believe that this proposal,...

Replies: 113 Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? Views: 6,094 Posted By garinda Re: Government Trying to Abolish DLA and Attendance Allowance? In my opinion the proposal, that all care services are centralised in one new organisation, rather the fragmented muddle it is now, is a sound idea. Until details are announced, as to how this one...
