Cuts to Disability Living Allowance : Government Response

Back in March I published a guest post from Emma detailing what could happen to her family if cuts to the current Disability Living Allowance were implemented by the Government .  The Government's response to the consultation on DLA has been published (pdf) and I have invited Emma to respond to it. ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

What may happen if Disability Living Allowance is cut. Emma's story.

Click the image to be taken to the article on the Daily Mirror website E mma is someone I know through a parenting forum.  Recently she has been worried about the changes to Disability Living Allowance  that are to be implemented by the current Government.  Emma and her husband were interviewed and photographed by the Daily Mirror for their "Save Our Services" feature.  The full-length feature can be seen in the image to the right.  Yes, that's it.  In full. Emma was, quite rightly, concerned that the whole story was not being told so I have offered her my blog for the day to explain in more detail.  It is an emotional and heartfelt piece but also it reminds us that the generalisation of situations means that whole families will suffer in the long run.
