Disabled activists converge on DWP over scrapped fund
DISABLED activists took their fight to save vital financial support to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) offices in London yesterday.
The Disabled People Against Cuts (DPac) group came to Westminster in a last ditch-protest against Tory plans to scrap the Independent Living Fund on Monday.
The large group, many in wheelchairs, tried to storm into the DWP’s headquarters through the visitor entrance but were locked out by security guards.
