Barbra,
I'd rather not take the chance given that these funds are a life line to
many of us...
and I agree with the writers assertion that once they've managed to get rid
of one element who's to say where they'll stop, best to let them know here
and now that they'll be a fight on their hands if they so even look at it...
Having said that, I am all up fore a fairer system, there appears to be many
injustices with the system at this time, with some people who are less
disabled getting more than those who clearly need it. A system that relies
on a users input on a form to get the specified measurement of funding is
never perfect, far better to have an independent medical board evaluate each
case I'd have thought.
also oddities like if you cannot walk to the end of your drive because you
have no legs, then you get higher rate mobility, yet if you cannot walk your
drive because you get lost as you are blind and have no orientation skills,
then you do not...
odd wouldn't you say?

I think the story is founded on facts, but I believe they have been rather
distorted and exaggerated, as with Chinese Whispers.

Barbra,
My technicians have taken a look at the domain name and site content, it
appears to be genuine and very much so at that, I hope that people do indeed
go ahead and vote with their feet and not sit in silence.
I agree it's always a good idea to be careful, but in this case, there's no
virus, no spam and it's all above board. The domain is registered to a
legitimate charity and organisation, the site is maintained and hosted on a
reputable service...
For those who want to join the campaign it's found at:

Subject: [talks-uk] DLA Email
Apologies for the bulk Email, but I'm trying to send this to as many people
who have sent it to me and the lists I have also read it on. 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.
