The POSITIVEPage For Disabled
People The
Governments ongoing shake up of the Social Security system is causing many disabled
or long-term sick to worry. Our advice is, do not listen too much to the pessimists
of gloom. The truth of the matter is that in any major reorganisation, there will
be innocent casualties and considerable inconvenience for many of us. But providing
everyone has access to help and advice,situations should be clarified. So if you
are reading this, do not worry. Our aim is to help you as a point of reference
if you become a casualty of this new system. The idea of everyone attending an
assessment will create an entirely new database upon which the DSS will be structured.
This will strike fear to those not genuinely entitled, of which there are many,
as they will have no excuses or recourse to continue draining the pockets of those
who do need. The result, we all hope, will be that those deserving will receive
a much more organised system to help them and more money or other benefits available.
The really bright side for those
who are disabled, is that this and the other major laws being introduced will
mean we shall start to become more integrated into a society that is willing to
give the support necessary in physical and financial terms. Bearing in mind that
in the UK we are fast approaching a time where virtually half the population will
be working, assisting the other half who are retired, disabled, sick ect. This
is due mainly to the facts of longer life and advances in medical treatment. The
DSS has remained virtually unchanged for decades and is desperately in need of
restructuring to deal with the ensuing decades. The sheer complexity of the worlds
best social security system - despite the inadequacies - will entail much unsettlement
for many. Along with many erred decisions, rules or actions, all of which will
take time to be rectified. Providing the necessary care and consideration is given
to the innocent casualties caught in the middle of these changes, the eventual
outcome will be well worth the hassle and result in a Social system that will
cater adequately for those in need of it.
