More Awareness of the benefit cuts.

Can as many of you as possible can you please sign and or shared the petition to try and stop benefits cuts for people with disabilities and health problems.

This is a message to those who have anything to do with Learning Disability and Mental Health.

As you have been all be aware since David Cameron has been in power there has been more people with disabilities and health problems lose their benefits than ever before. This may seem strange to hear, the stress people have been having going through has affected people's’ health as far Anxiety, depression, epilepsy, even such health problems as diabetes, asthma and etc is curtained. Most people have even died. Last year alone Britain lost 10’600 people with disabilities and health problems. Let’s do our best to prevent this stress for people as much as possible by signing the petition or and sharing the link http://www.change.org/p/3200011?recruiter=85458926&utm_campaign=signature_receipt_fb_dialog&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition&fb_ref=Default

If you work for any service, company, group, organisation to do with learning disability and mental health I would be most grateful if as many of you as possible team up together. This could well be the same for people with disabilities and health problems as well. Many people like me with disabilities and health problems are also Advocates; Learning Disability and Mental Awareness trainers may be people like us could team up together with profession.

Lost lives of the benefits in the last five years.

As many of you are aware by now I’m a visting Literature for the University Of Wolverhampton. Back in February I raised awareness of the benefit cuts to the first year students, then I updated the powerpoint ready for to raise awareness to the 2^nd year students when I go back to work after Easter.

This what I have written, this is roughly what have been going through.

Awareness of learning disabilities and Mental health awareness cuts.

•        This is an update of the Benefits cuts awareness presentation.

•        Lives of vulnerable peoples' lives matters as much as yours.

•        As you know stress is the biggest killer of all but if you are a vulnerable person, you can't cope with it as much as other people.

•        What professions need to be aware of is that 10’600 people with disabilities and health problems died last year due to the benefit cuts.

•         I was only aware the figures on Sunday 29^th March 2015.

Waiting for the appeals.

How long? 

• The wait can vary to a year or two.

§  •Most people might wait longer.

§  •Some appeals can take longer than others.

 The wait depending on.

• •On peoples’ issues.
• •On peoples’ disabilities and health problems.

Money problems.

• At least 9 out 10 vulnerable people can’t affront to live when they have lost their benefits for example paying bills, eating, rent, they may end up homeless and or etc.
•  Many people find themselves borrowing money off other people, services, loans and etc.
•  Just because they may win their appeal doesn't necessary mean they will be given enough money to pay back to whoever and whatever they owe.
•  People who have their benefits stopped are in risk of going hungry or and going into debt.
•  People worry about owing people money.

Risk of people been forced into things they can’t manage.

§  Many people have been forced into situations they cannot cope with without support due to the benefit cuts such as DWP and Altos signing them off fit for work.

•  I’m not saying people with disabilities and health problems can’t work but health, safety and support needs to be taken into account.
• With the cuts the government have been making, a lot of people haven't been getting the support they need.
• The benefit cut are people risks of injury and accidents at work if they are not supported.
• Risks of as I said dying of hunger.
• Risks of taking their own lives.
• Risks of being in big debt.
• Risks of people been more unwell.

STRESSES OF BENEFIT CUTS.

• Due peoples’ health problems Stress push them into taking their own lives if life gets too much for them. 
•  Stress can mostly affect those who have such health problems like Anxiety, Epilepsy, Asthma, diabetes,   depression and etc.
•  Many people have taken overdoses.
•   Many have taken and lost their own lives.
