Fight the DWP on removal of disability payments
Restore payments to the thousands of people who have had their benefits and Motability cars taken away for petty reasons like putting the wrong date in a diary and missing an assessment.
Why is this important?
People like Sarah Stones of St Neots Cambs who is 48 and has cerebral palsy. Sarah runs her own company motivating people. Her crime was writing the wrong date in her diary and missing her assessment. For this her benefits and car were forfeited. This, in effect, would have stopped her working had it not been for the kindness of her family and friends. She is not alone and the DWP is fully aware of what is happening yet upholds the decisions of Capita. There is a total lack of empathy and compassion from them. I met Sarah when I put up a washing line and mended her gate. She is an amazing lady and i feel so helpless that this goverment is treating severely disabled people, who can and want to work, by taking away their ability to do so.
