To The US Government : Sponsored By: Social Security Disability Coalition

Money is taken out of your paychecks every week for Social Security, and SSD and as of January 2003, the US government GAO has designated Social Security Disability a HIGH-risk area for 2003. You could face homelessness, bankruptcy, and even death trying to get your benefits when you need them the most. On behalf of the Social Security Disability Coalition, we ask, disabled and healthy Americans alike, that you please do something to resolve this serious problem now!

Petition calling for the Government to keep Disability Living Allowance mobility component for people in residential care

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) mobility component helps meet some extra costs disabled people can face getting around, for example, taxis (where there is no accessible public transport), electric wheelchairs and mobility aids. However, the Government plans to stop paying DLA mobility to people living in residential care, and this will mean that many people will no longer have the money to meet these extra costs and face being trapped at home.
