So we have the threat of losing our benefits because this so called government has seen the disabled and ill as an easy target.

Today I have received a letter from the local council, it has informed us that rent allowances are going down and that this will mean that only 3 in 10 houses for rent in my area will be affordable!

We have a bungalow and that is what I need, we already have to top up the rent with my DLA, it's not because I am greedy and have an amazing property, it because here in the south east rent is high.
So maybe I should move, oh hang on wait, I can't afford to!

We are under attack and it is going unnoticed

    Hi Zech
    Ido hope your knee pain has eased a little,
    These cuts are really awful, I think the worsted thing is wondering what will be next, here in the north west we are losing so many facilities.
    Like you say this government is picking on the weak, we really are an easy target......
    You take care
