Nonsense, there were fears by welfare rights experts much more qualified than either of us that this was a very worrying development for those on Carers Allowance & ESA, particularly as the DWP refused to answer questions put to them to ally peoples fears.
It was correct and necessary to alert people to this to enable them to have their say and mobilise opposition if these fears were realised.
Don't forget that the Cameron Government actually considered scrapping Carers Allowance altogether, the massive opposition from disabled people & their carers probably helped to get this consideration scrapped before it became policy.
The advice given in post 92 still stands as any information gleened from any meeting, no matter how voluntary, is likely to be used against them IMO.
In the thread linked to, people are being watched and studied
before the official meeting has even started...
I hope that after making such a song and dance about it, you now accept that I am not on ignore as previously claimed and will be making pertinent contributions wherever possible.
