I am really worried about the Welfare Reform Bill and how it will affect our children.

I spent much of yesterday following Parliament tryin to listen to the changes they will be making to DLA. I am very concerned as my daughter has a mild disability but she still needs help. Social Services have now discharged her. I am now too tired to complain after spending the last few years advocating for her as she was wrongly diagnosed. It was a long time ago and during that time they didn't know a lot about Turner syndrome so I have been told. This doesn't help me a bit. It has been over three years of no help. I can't go out alone as I can't leave my daughter on her own and she won't stay with her dad. She likes going out but has no friends of her own. I have to take her everywhere yet I am still on low mobility. She doesn't travel on her own but she did go to the cinema in 2008 by herself but she got scared sitting alone and rang. I told her to come home..... she was frightened sitting in screen 6 with one other guy in the cinema............she is now 24 years of age..........

I am so worried what these cuts will mean. I am hoping my daughter won't lose her low mobility allowance because that may also effect my carers allowance. Where is a carer supposed to get help if Social Services doesn't find them under their criteria?

I certanly can't do everything alone. I have tried and exhausted myself doing it.I urge to read the guardian and keep up to date with what is happening. It is unfair that the Lords who worked very hard are being ignored.... I believe the labour party is seeking advice to see if it is against human rights...

The Welfare Reform Bill is about our childrens future and it is important for all of us to unite and campaign.If you are a carer and need advice pleaste join our Spartacus group on facebook.If you need help with a PIP Assessments please look on this site:http://wearespartacus.org.uk/

This was the heading in the Guardian...........Coalition overturns Lords amendments on welfare and bans further dissent.

Government uses rare parliamentary procedure to annul seven adjustments to reform and prevent further challenges from peers

I don't know what I will do as my daughter comes under milder disabilites. I know government thinks they can manage but my daughter doesn't even answer official phone calls and can't cook yet.............The support system has been poor and throughput my life as a carer I can count on one hand the amount of help I have received.

I gave my career, my life, my marriage, my friends and even family is now distant........
