Worried About Coalition Welfare Cuts

I am very concerned about the Coalitions latest Welfare cuts which may be as high as 33% which will mean extremely severe disability benefit cuts which could affect my son who has ASD and receives DLA. I am very concerned about his future. If he cannot receive benefits when he is older, he could become destitute and homeless. I am really upset about what the Coalition is proposing and especially the Liberal Democrats who I thought were a humane party. Does anybody else feel the same ?

I am also very worried - that's why I started a previous thread on this topic. I am especially worried about the proposed 25% cuts in public services as left to the Local Authorities, the arts festivals and the countless pointless projects with no longevity, will continue to flourish and they'll probably cut services to people like us who have no voice

Sorry Donkeyderby, didn't see you thread. My question is what can we do to stop these cuts ?

With 2 boys with ASD, this does have me worried in so many ways.

The coalition now talks of 40% cuts !!
This sounds like bullying to me.
