Independent Living Fund (No. 2)

EDM number 1231 in 2010-12, proposed by Katy Clark on 20/12/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House notes with concern the Government's announcement that the Independent Living Fund will be permanently closed to new applicants and completely phased out by the end of this Parliament; further notes that this will affect around 21,000 current recipients as well as those who would have applied to the fund in the future; acknowledges the fantastic assistance that the Independent Living Fund has provided severely disabled people to live independently; and calls on the Government to reconsider its decision, which will affect thousands of severely disabled people and will in the long term lead to greater financial costs as more people are placed in long term care.

This motion has been signed by a total of 79 MPs.
