Your patient's health is your main concern to you mainly they have disabilities and health problems. The huge concern has been people with disabilities and health problems having their benefits cut and even stopped. If your patient has their benefits cut or stopped, it can have a huge affect to your patient's health why is that? Please find out on my 2015 post of this website sararevealed.blogspot.com/ there's a lot of information you need to learn and be aware of.
Just to also remind you that this month will be Mental Health month so I will be raising a lot of awareness on my website and Facebook groups, which you are more than welcome to join if your on Facebook. I will advice you not to go on Facebook if you are student in college or university during class hours.

Read more information in the Disability Rights Handbook when it is updated in April or look online. Some the 2015 - 2016 information may still apply at the moment.
Just to let you know every April there is an update of the Disability Rights Handbook, which is update information on benefits, you may not need in your career but always useful to know just in case. This information is really for families, carers and advisers including disabled people themselves but not everyone has those people in their lives.
