I have emailed Kate Nash (who is one of the few representatives on the group who I think can represent (in part) those with mental illness. I do urge people to write to anyone they know with any say, power or connections asking them to defend the rights of disabled people to continue to have DLA payments,particularly as I believe that if the money is given directly to social services, people with mental illness will get little,if any, support from them in meeting their care needs.
My recent experience of them with my father is that they do the barest minimum and then discharge people as quickly as possible.

Mental Health Charity
ReplyDeleteMind , Rethink and the Mental Health Foundation would be obvious choices to lobby but as they have practically moved in with the Department of Work and Pensions I dont see them beeing much help. I will however be writing to the Charity Commission and Members of Parliament calling for charity Directors to be forced to publish their expenses .
A dirty business.....
It is rumoured that there is a lot of shredding going on in certain quarters including shredding for claims for poodle patterned cushions and sequined sharkfin contour hugging cycling shorts.

ReplyDeleteKeep digging mate...but avoid contact with the sequined cycling shorts because you know where they've been! nudge nudge wink wink say no more.
