I urge you all to sign a petition that is currently running on 38degrees. The link is as follows

Http://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/dwp-changing-the-tribunal-process

The government are trying to change the appeal process so that disabled people will no longer be able to go before a tribunal judge, instead they will only be able to submit a paper appeal or by online internet link. An ex solicitor or clerk will decide appeals by using a tick box system, which is similar to the assessment. They are NOT experienced to decide the lives of disabled people ! Please seek out and sign as this may get pushed through within 48hrs without all of your help

I have already signed this petition so please, please let us all do our best to support those who are trying to help us and others who have disabilities. I have been part of this movement for some time now and we all know that we need these people on our side.
