Conservatives attack disabled

It looks like the lifelong disabled are a key target of the current
government since carers, Disabled Living Allowance and mobility allowance
(http://tinyurl.com/36dmrfd)are all to be cut . In my view it is grossly
unfair to target those least able to help themselves. In the case of
cerebral palsied children who become cerebral palsied adults the dependence
on the state is absolute yet the care and support is subject to a maze of
organisations, some of the most complex regulations affecting access to
services and now further financial pressure. If one individual satisfying
the current stringent criteria that my daughter met was hit by all of the
cuts they would be left to die on the streets. Is this the face of the new
conservatives?
