Campaigners mourn the death of vital independent living fund
THERE were heartbreaking scenes in Westminster yesterday as disabled people tearfully mourned the closure of the independent living fund (ILF).
Members of Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) left hundreds of copies of a petition at Downing Street after it had been signed by over 27,000 supporters of the ILF.
They then marched with their supporters along Whitehall, to lay a wreath reading “RIP ILF” outside the House of Commons.
