Not only is this 'tax on disability' having a significant impact on people's lives the amount being charged by Local Authorities varies dramtically, with one recouping as much as 46% of its total spend on Adult Social Care and another as little as 4%!

The Independent Living Strategy Group is determined to increase awareness of the issue of charging for care and support and, with this in mind, they want to hear about your experiences via a quick survey. Please just take a moment to complete it and have your say!

We don’t believe that the recently proposed benefit changes will have a significant impact on any of our home owners, as they all have lifelong disabilities and have already been assessed as being unable to viably work in paid employment.
We were delighted to have recently been invited to co-host a webinar with The NSG about home ownership for people with disabilities and we were privileged to have been joined by the parents of two of our happy home owners too.
