You can rest assured we share your concerns. We released a statement on Monday outlining our position emphasising the fact we will not support any proposals that reduce the income received by blind and partially sighted people. We are currently working on a response with RNIB which will take in the views of our service users. If you have any specific concerns then please do let me know and I will pass them on to the relevant people who will be able to reflect our service users views during the consultation period. Our full response can be found in our latest news section; http://www.actionforblindpeople.org.uk/news/action-for-blind-peoples-pos ition-on-the-government-green-paper-on-social-care-shaping-the-future-of -care-together,140,SNS.html Hopefully this is of some help; if you have any further questions then please do get in touch.
