Social Security Benefits For Disabled People (EDM495)

Social Security Benefits For Disabled People

EDM number 495 in 1997-98, proposed by Eddie McGrady on 25/11/1997.

That this House is alarmed at the news that the Department of Social Security is actively considering legislation to abolish two major social security benefits for disabled people - disability living allowance and attendance allowance, with the intention of asking social service departments to administer an alternative cost caring scheme.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
