Modernising Support for Independent Living: The Health and Disability Green Paper

What are your thoughts on this government green paper published today? I personally feel that the proposals are totally unworkable and would be an administrative nightmare. There is an article about it on the Benefits and Work website with a link to a consultation that they encourage as many as possible to complete. Let the government know your reaction to this!

I am not happy about it, and I'm sure it will cause a lot of ill people loads of stress 🤬, just what we need when already suffering with Fibromyalgia, it will set off lots of flare-ups. 😢

I read it earlier and tried to reply with no swearing lol.It's a way to get is to get us to agree we need nothing or at least a lot less.

I was so offended at the statement the the disabled consider pip out right as we're disabled something like that but I've never thought of my payments as compensation for being disabled.

I got angry that the government wants us all independent and working👎. The last time I did independent I nearly died twice.

Ok read it if you have time sweeties 😁Dawn🤗🤗🤗🤗😋teatime😋😋😋😋😍😍😍😇🤗🤗🤗😎
