The following local authorities have eased their commitment to uphold their Care Act duties and we would like to hear from people who are being or might be affected by this. This basically means they no longer have to met your assessed needs for care and support funding so is a very worrying development.
This information will be used for several things including being passed onto a solicitor, submitting information to parliamentary and UN inquiries. Please could you say with your email which local authority you live in, whether you might be interested in speaking to a solicitor and whether you would want your details anonymised when we pass the information onto government and UN inquiries.
Please mark emails Care Act easements and send them to mail@dpac.uk.net
Local Authorities concerned to date are Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Solihull, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Sunderland, Coventry and Derbyshire .
It is beyond an injustice. IIt is clear cut murder. Nothing in this world will alter my thoughts about this appaulling and devasting situation regarding the disabled. I asked my mp not to vote for this bill but she did. These people are not stupid? Maybe i’ve got that wrong somewhere???
MP’s were contacted and disabled people explained the outcome of this section of the Bill. The House of Lords rejected it. Yet it passed in Parliament.
To leave disabled people with no care, not a chance of any care package, no future for us. |It disgusts me beyond anything I can imagine.
I often read the emails from dpac in disbelief of how society can accept what is happening and not even notice? I think I am in some kind of dream world filled with nightmares of a kind that only happens in Hitlers Germany. The government is doing this legally, on purpose and with malice towards disabled people. The provision in the act will not be removed, watered down or changed in any way when lock down ends. It will remain that way. It is deliberate, murder and is illegal. Every person who signed that bill are guilty of murder. Not manslaughter but MURDER.
I am in despair and utter dismayhow human beings can treat the most vulnerable in society like this.
Everything the disabled movement fought for has been stripped to almost nothing. We are back in Victorian times or worse.
I asked for a review of my needs 3 years ago and only had what I can call a conversation just a month or so ago by my care coordinators manager and an OT.
There was no paperwork … I signed nothing and no outcomes have been implemented.
I can explain all over the phone. I am currently recovering from covid19.
