URGENT ACTION for today: contact LibDem MP Stephen Lloyd
December 20, 2010
The government are trying to sneak through changes to Housing Benefit which will result in disabled people and others being pushed into further poverty and being likely to be evicted for rent arrears. This would mean that they would end up in inaccessible bed and breakfast accommodation, in a hostel for the homeless, or in a residential care home.
It seems that one Lib Dem MP, Stephen Lloyd will have the casting vote. See details below to email or tweet him which needs to be done today please.
If you have time please also email Steve Webb who is a Lib Dem DWP minister responsible for many of these plans and who has said disabled people are really well off and have an extra £8,000 a year in benefits they don’t need any help with winter fuel costs.
You don’t need to say much just ask them not to support HB changes as they will increase homelssness and push disabled people into further poverty.
