DLA Under Threat
UK Disability Living Allowance Under Threat - Sign The Government Petition. Time is running out to have your say about disability living allowance (DLA) and attendance allowance (AA) being axed. A government green paper has revealed plans to stop paying disability benefits and hand the cash over to social services instead. The consultation period for the green paper ends on 13 November.
If there has been no significant outcry against the plans by then, it seems very likely that whichever party is in power after the next election will seize this opportunity to cut public spending by over a billion pounds a year.
Although the actual changes may take years to be brought in, it is what happens between now and November 13th that is likely to seal the fate of attendance allowance (AA) and disability living allowance (DLA).
