What the petition asks
The proposed cuts of £4m for the disabled in the Budget must not go through,it may contravene the 2010 Equality Act, disability benefits, which will have a brutal impact on thousands of people. How can this be fair??.
Most people will benefit from the increase in personal allowances, so why did the Chancellor do it?.He could have increased the fuel duty, or the Wine.Beer and Scotch Duty but chose to get at the most vunerable of the population who in most cases need the specialist equipment to give them an opprtunity to 'live' a life more comfortably,both moetary and physically
