RNIB Launch Legal Action Against DWP After Blind Woman’s Overdose

August 6, 2013

Readers, some very good news from the Welfare News Service:

UPDATE: I have just been informed that the RNIB has launched a class act against the DWP following a story we published which told how a blind lady took an overdose after being messed about by the department. The lady concerned has informed us that she will keep us updated and could send us a follow up guest post to be published on our website. The Welfare News Service would like to wish her and the RNIB the very best of luck in this legal matter.

Same Difference would also like to wish the lady and the RNIB the very best of luck with the legal action. It is to be hoped that this will lead to significant change in the way blind people are treated by the DWP in future.

    excellent news if only all charities would step in where DWP abuse has taken place
    I’ve been messed about by the DWP for years and look like a skeleton but I’m not blind but it would be nice to think that someone was looking out for the many others that slip through the cracks and die
