This is a video by Anne Pridmore (@caninep) who is speaking on behalf of Direct Payment recipients nationwide. My own situation is particularly worrying and it seems inevitable that I will be left to fend for myself over the next few days and weeks. It is a case of survival of the fittest in our right-wing society and the weakest have no chance. If I disappear for a few days it is because I have no typing support or I am stuck in bed. All this stress and turmoil could have been prevented with adequate preparation by the government, but yet again we have been let down.

Once you have stopped panicking please don’t forget about the true villains of this fiasco. We must work together to build a stronger society and less selfish culture if it is not too late…
