Dear everyone,
The Government have just published their Welfare Reform Bill which says what
they are going to do with disabled people on incapacity benefits.
I have included some information. It will really mean disabled people may
get less money and be forced into work.
We need to do a lot of campaign work around this.
We really NEED YOU to help to make this a real big campaign. It needs to
be bigger than BCODP!
We have started by having a web page, writing a Welfare Reform Bill briefing
and press statements. We will be asking for your help and getting
involved as the Welfare Reform Bill goes through Parliament. We need you to
first get in touch with your MPs by MONDAY, 24th July to say your
organisation is not supporting the Welfare Reform Bill. You contact your
MP via WriteToThem.com website
We also need benefit claimants case studies as well.
People First have organised for Disabled People to deliver a statement
saying we are against the Welfare Reform Bill which will be supported by
BCODP and other national groups to Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street on 24th
July as well.
We will be emailing you on a regular basis – so watch out for them. We will
be putting our briefings and other important information about the campaign
which will not be in this newsletter on the bcodp website.
1. You will find a letter to your MP
2. People First’s trip to Downing Street
3. BCODP’s worries about Welfare Reform Bill
We have this newsletter with pictures included. Please let us know if you

Looking forward to hearing from all of you.
