Maybe the Green Paper isn't a hoax, but that still doesn't mean this Website is genuine and creditible.

It isn't a hoax; very sorry to say. There'll be a feature about it comingsoon in Disability Now, if my sources inform me correctly, and that will be based on an interview with the minister. Wish it was a hoax; can't see howit can be though.

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 cutstoDLA and an upcoming Green Paper making certain proposals regardingbenefits.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 getasmany 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 theywantyou 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'sjust replied informing me that she knows nothing about these proposals andis like myself, concerned by the Website in question. She has told me she knows of an Email in circulation informing people they may be elligiblefora 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, itcontainsa 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 beforeweall get carried away at the idea of what would be a very serious decision.Find me on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/barkingbabs Barbara Wilson M: 07917710779 T: 02887784046 E: barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IM: creativeeyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: creativeeyes** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signaturedatabase 4311 (20090806) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq No virus found in this incoming message.
