MACMILLAN Cancer Support is concerned that the changes proposed in the Welfare Reform Bill will force thousands of cancer patients and their families into poverty.
Local MP for North Wiltshire, James Gray is on the committee scrutinising the Bill and we are urging him to support Macmillan’s amendments. Macmillan would love to hear from any of your readers in his constituency who have cancer and receive DLA or ESA and who might be affected by these changes. We need them to tell us their story so that we can show Mr Gray just how this Bill will impact on his constituents.
Please contact Laura Mitchell on lmitchell@macmillan.org.uk or 01264 343 807. For more information about our campaign to put the fair into welfare, visit www.macmillan.org.uk/welfare.
