Good point David. The government are tomorrow to release a Green Paper which they hope to sneak through without us realising what they are doing. So what do they do? They put it on their Website so anyone can download it.
As you say, highly suspicious. Find me on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/barkingbabs Barbara Wilson M: 07917710779 T: 02887784046 E: barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IM: creativeeyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: creativeeyes----- Original Message ----- From: "David Russell" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Wendy, Are you not suspicious when the paper is not yet released? There are many things about this that do not make sense. I am far from convinced that this is genuine.Of course, everyone will have to make up their own minds, but what is it todo with Jaws anyway?

Any proposals to cut the benefit would run directly counter to this decision and would therefore make me suspicious of their authenticity.

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 andEmail address. Again the warning bells sounded, is this just a way to getas 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 andis like myself, concerned by the Website in question. She has told me sheknows of an Email in circulation informing people they may be elligible fora tax rebate. The Email porports to be from HMRC and the Website the linkbrings 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 aresuspicious, I just thought it important to sound a word of caution beforewe all get carried away at the idea of what would be a very serious decision.
