There are poor disabled people
Three weeks ago a letter published in the News listed benefits available for disabled people.
Perhaps the writer of this letter could tell me how to get these benefits.
I am severely disabled and get the great sum of nil.
While someone who wants to murder British soldiers gets £20,000 a year in benefits, I get £78 per week incapacity benefit.
"The breadline" is £140 per week.
Where is the other £62 per week?
A government order is to pay disabled people as little as possible, a second order is to remove the Legal Aid franchise, so that solicitors cannot represent people like me.
The writer of the letter asked are there any poor disabled people?
The answer is yes - I am one of them.
