Hi all,

Well, Liz UnTrust has moved Therese Coffey up to Health Secretary and left us with a certain Ms Chloe Smith as her replacement.

I don't know much about the new DWP secretary but I bet it's not good news.

Hopefully I might be wrong.

Regards,

Phrank.

This article in Disability News Service seems to indicate there will be little change

Hi all,

Why are disable people, severely ill in many, many cases, treated with such contempt by ministers who represent them and therefore should be fighting their cause?

For example; surely a secretary FOR disabled people should be just that and not AGAINST which is so often the case.

Has anyone got any idea?

No matter how I try, I haven't got a clue.

Regards,

Phrank.

Hi phrank

A very good question, for once I am lost for words to reply to your comment, not even a smiley will help me.

It could be that disabled Ministers believe disabled claimants are shirkers and not workers, although I know many disabled claimants who work, even when they are suffering in silence.
