Lord Low wants to hear from you
Lord Low has been asked by Leonard Cheshire Disability and Mencap to chair an independent review into the mobility needs of people living in residential care.
As you may know, the Welfare Reform Bill contains powers to remove the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance, soon to become Personal Independence Payment, from people living in state-funded residential care. The mobility component enables thousands of disabled people to go to the shops, visit family or socialise with friends. Without it there is the potential that people may become trapped in their own homes. Is this something that will affect you? Or someone you love, or care for? Contact the review to let them know your thoughts. You can email your views to info@lowreview.org.uk . The deadline is the 10th of October 2011. The Low Review gives a chance to have your voice heard. The results of the review are hoped to be published at the end of October and following this key recommendations will be made to the Government. Please get in touch with the Low Review if you have any questions by emailing info@lowreview.org.uk or calling 020 3242 0373
