Today in the Queen's Speech the Government announced the new laws it intends to introduce into parliament.
One was the Full Employment and Welfare Benefits Bill!
The Bill aims to create more jobs and apprenticeships.
...
Our Parliamentary Team will be lobbying MPs and Peers to try to make sure that employment opportunities for people with a learning disability are considered in the debates.
Unfortunately there are many barriers faced by people with a learning disability.
Ismail explained: "I did not choose to have a learning disability. I have no choice about paying the extra costs that come with getting the vital support that I need. So I am very worried about the likely £12 billion of cuts to benefits, as I know are many other people with a learning disability. Whether I am working or not, my disability will always be there."
