It's very easy to criticise someone elses point of view. especially when we don't know why they hold those views, what has happened to them in their lives to make them think the way they do. WE may have our "toys" to help us "pass our boring day". Toys to some people are an essential to others. Sighted people have more chance of finding work than people who are disabled, that is a fact, not only because of their disability, but because of prejudice of employers. The man in his castle always looks down on the peasant until the enemy comes and knocks down his castle and then he has to forrage like the common man.

Hi Will. People from different background, different classes and different Efnic minorities can claim that the government don't care about them. Why do the poor blind have to stick out from the rest of them. You aren't something out of the ordinary just because your blind. I find that attitude reminds me of the preaching blind man who sits in his corner all day bitching about how harshly he is being done not to mention that sighted unemployed folk live of far less than an unemployed blind person. Not every sighted person can afford to drive so they have to take buses to job centers and job interviews and so on just like the blind man who doesn't really get hassled to find employment. Even then their will be a travel pass fully paid for the disable so they don't even have to count those expenses. Need I go on? The unemployed blind or disabled lives a much better life style to the sighted unemployed. Come on, how many have you have the latest and greatest of blind toys to keep you occupied in your leisure time? How many of you have expensive screen reader licenses and navigation solutions and countless of other gadgets that help you in your daily lives? I bet the sighted unemployed or working class couldn't even afford gadgets equivalent to that due to the low income that they would be on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <lomaswilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

well we will see if they do cut it they cut it, that's life lol
the government don't care about us anwya so why would they wait they would implement it now we have to, in my view, show we need "care" before getting that component so in my view i think that is has some value. at the moment we don't need care workers in our homes to get the component so we can waste the money on what we want at present

This green paper talks of the care component of DLA not the mobility
component, the two are quite different.

I thought the same.  Why would they ask for email address's?
Also haven't the current lot already committed to giving us the higher rate 
if they get back in?

Hi Barbara,
I have also seen this on Twitter, and even retweeted it myself, but I am 
pretty sure it is a hoax.



All the best

Apologies for the bulk Email, but I'm trying to send this to as many people 
who have sent it to me and the lists I have also read it on. I hope  the
moderators don't mind but I thought it of such importance to take the
liberty.
Many of you by now will have received an Email warning of potential cuts to DLA and an upcoming Green Paper making certain proposals regarding benefits. On first receiving this Email I was suspicious as I tend to be of all such Emails. On going to the site, I noticed they were asking for your name and Email address. Again the warning bells sounded, is this just a way to get as many Email addresses as possible? There was a link to download the Green Paper and read and again I was worried this might just be a virus they want 
you to download to your computer.



Not being sure, I forwarded an Email to someone I know who works as a
manager in the social care sector and is always well informed on such
issues. I was sure if this was a real threat she would be aware of it. She's just replied informing me that she knows nothing about these proposals and is like myself, concerned by the Website in question. She has told me she knows of an Email in circulation informing people they may be elligible for a tax rebate. The Email porports to be from HMRC and the Website the link brings you too indeed looks just like that of the HMRC. However, it contains 
a very harmful virus.



Whether you think I am just being over-cautious or you like me are
suspicious, I just thought it important to sound a word of caution before we all get carried away at the idea of what would be a very serious decision.
