I bet many of you never expected to see this blog updated again but this is too important not to share.
A group of disabled campaigners, organised by Sue Marsh of Diary of a Benefit Scrounger raised nearly four grand in funds (solely through the sick and disabled community on blogs and twitter donating what they could afford - a fiver here and a fiver there) and used this money to produce and distribute a very well researched and hard hitting report into DLA reform.
It's official title is Responsible Reform but it's also known as The Spartacus Report.
The full report is here and there is also a press release available.
Please do all you can to share this on twitter, Facebook, blogs etc. The hashtag to use is #spartacusreport and it's being asked that where possible people use old style copy and paste retweets as this counts for getting it trending.
There is also a template letter on Sue's blog (linked above) to use to send the report to your MP.
I hope to share more about this on my own blog as the day progresses.
The consultation about DLA reform ends on 14th February 2011, Valentines Day. Though traditionally a day for love, this day could adversely affect disabled people should the reforms be adjusted incorrectly. We are holding this event a month before the consultation ends to raise awareness and give anyone who wishes to the opportunity to respond.
