Your behind the times as usual Davie my friend.

The RNIB are already on this one and asking people to right to there MP's and 
have organised action events all over the country.

Now it's nice to know your not concerned.

But the RNIB and lots of us and other charities are.

Now you say a minister told you not to worry?

hahaha mate, that's the very time to worry.

You plonker it's like a turkey asking the farmer,  what's this Christmas thing 
all about?

You sit down quietly and be a good little lad while the folks in charge plan to 
take your DLA away if you want to Davie but not me or thankfully the RNIB or 
thousands of other's.

  Ta Scott.

Subject: [guide.chat] withdrawal of benefits

Hi Guy's,

just a note regarding the Email from Scott,

True there are some discussions about benefits and the welfare reform. 

False there are no immediate plans to withdraw any benefits according to the 
minister I was speaking to the other day.
however there must and should be frank discussion about the way that services 
are to be delivered in future years. 
as we all know individual budgets are becoming the popular way of obtaining 
services right now. 

I think you will all know by now that any future government will be looking at 
spending less on social care and by signing petitions and making a fuss will 
only draw attention to the amount of money being spent on these two benefits 
right now. 

speaking as someone who works on a regular basis with minister's and shadow 
post holders from the opposition I would strongly suggest in my own opinion to 
make a fuss now is not the thing to do. 

during the next month or so I will be attending a conference at which 
minister's will be speaking and should things not look good I'll be back with 
an update. 

there are a number of green papers about social care the health service and so 
on. 
incase people do not understand the system of procedure of parliament a green 
paper is issued as a discussion document and for consultation.
this is followed by the white paper which is the proposed bill which will go 
through both houses of parliament for discussion and amendments and committee 
stages wen formal consultations of organisations and interested party's may 
have an interest 

this white paper is called the bill.
we know that any bill has to have three readings and approval's of the Commons 
and as part of the process the lords have to work on the bill as well.

to cut a very boring story short as this is a green paper there is nothing to 
worry about just yet.
should there be any possibility of benefits changing a very large number of 
organisation's    representing people with Disability's will be campaigning and 
asking for help to help the cause by writing to the members of parliament at a 
suggested time as they did with the DLA campaign that the RNIB ran successfully 
earlier this year. 

Regards,
from Dave.
