Motion on Disability Benefits cuts

There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

This Forum is alarmed at suggestions about cuts in disability benefits, which will have a grave impact on many citizens of Northern Ireland.

The Forum calls on the Government to end the present climate of speculation and leaks, which is proving extremely alarming to the most vulnerable section of the community.

Further, the Forum is opposed to any proposal to impose income tax on disability benefits or subject the recipients to means-testing.
