UK Government publishes concessions on welfare reforms

Following pressure from some MPs and disability campaigning groups, the UK Government has made some concessions to their original proposals for welfare reforms.

You can read the Government's statement here. RNIB has produced a summary of the concessions which you can read on their website.

Disability charities such as RNIB and Disability Rights UK feel that the concessions that have been made are not enough to address their concerns, and are still urging people to contact their MP before the debate on 1st July. You can do this here.
