People with sight impairments are expected to use aids when outdoors. The difference being, your wheelchair gets you from A to B. My mobility cane doesn't stop me from wandering into the path of oncoming traffic.<br /><br />You have an alternative way of getting around by mobilising, why shouldn't you use aids designed to help you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-29173930233969661502012-12-24T12:55:58.139+00:002012-12-24T12:55:58.139+00:00Care to expand on this?

Having a car enables me to do my own shopping and look after my granddaughter two days per week, which is the only time I see any of my family. it enables me to get to the doctors and other hospital appointments.<br />I would have no life without it. But I think that that is the point. they want us to kill ourselves so we are less of a burden to them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-29117402099465610952012-12-22T20:41:15.391+00:002012-12-22T20:41:15.391+00:00it is about time mobilising was taken into account...it is about time mobilising was taken into account and not just walking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-89228396335717374302012-12-22T20:36:52.507+00:002012-12-22T20:36:52.507+00:00OK i sent it anyway - But i doubt her reply will b...OK i sent it anyway - But i doubt her reply will be of any help as she cares not for the disabled.

Hope thats ok, I tried hard not to get overemotional but I think I failed!<br /><br />I am a 22 year old student at Magdalen College, in my final year of a history degree, I am writing to you as my MP as I live here full time, my mothers home is inaccessible to me and Magdalen have stepped in to house me for the remainder of my degree. I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in my left leg, RSD is the most painful disease known to medicine. <br /><br />I want to work, I'm 22 years old, I don't want my life to be over now but to work I will need an adapted car with hand controls. My blue badge is my lifeline, without it I would not be able to do my shopping even with all the support I am given from my mother who cares for me.<br /><br /> I cannot walk the 20m in the PIP regulations but others can, although they may not be able to walk much further. These others also rely on their motobility car to work or their blue badge to shop. We don't want to be burdens on society but we do need help, we were told we would be protected but this is not the case. <br /><br />Please help, I and others like me rely on our DLA and we will rely on PIP please safeguard the help that so many desperately need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-71399993555710230762012-12-22T18:24:58.738+00:002012-12-22T18:24:58.738+00:00I think it is worth sending a message to your MP e...I think it is worth sending a message to your MP even if there is no hope of them agreeing with us because they can't then claim that no one objected or that all their letters were in favour.

He is a new conservative from the batch that got voted in the last general election. He cares more about defense than anything else. I usually get replies from him but they are form replies and they never address the issues brought up in my communication to him.
