Hi I know this guy and I believe him. I have his permission to forward this on. Here is his message Hi, I think there is some misleading going on here, either intentionally or otherwise. This green paper does in fact exist and contains the material stated. I've been working on this all night, seeking out the truth because, like Barbara, I was suspicious. I am so convinced of it's genuine nature that i've been contacting media round the country and even my MP, think i'd do that if i believed it to be a false rumour? My information gained from investigation using the skills i learned as a journalist lead me to understand that this green paper exists and does carry proposals that could very seriously affect many tens of thousands of people, if not millions. DLA is not specifically referred to in the paper but it opens the way for DLA to be abolished as described. I have not only downloaded and read the paper but spoken to journalists who have looked into this themselves as well as my MP who confirms that he has seen it and is aware of the contents [though he hadn't fully appreciated the possible consequences till i pointed them out to him.] Barbara claims to have a friend on the inside who she asked to confirm the truth of these claims; if this person exists then of course she would deny it; firstly because she will have been instructed to, and secondly, because all civil servants have to sign the official secrets act she couldn't give information like that to Barbara or anyone else without risking prosecution and imprisonment for anything from a few months to life. So although i believe that Barbara sent this message whit the best of intentions i feel it should not be given any credence; people should take notice of this paper as the consequences of not doing so could be very serious.

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.
