The Disability Disgrace

Today, far-reaching changes in the social security system come into effect. The DHSS admits that there will be both 'winners' and 'losers'. For three years the Royal National Institute for the Blind has campaigned with other national disability organisations opposed to these changes. Tonight, through the experiences of those who will be affected, their programme counts the cost to sick and disabled people, many of whom now face an uncertain future with loss of payments and rights.
