Welfare Reforms
Stephen Phillips MP took time out of his constituency diary last week to attend a meeting of CANadda, a Lincolnshire support group for adults with an autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD. Attendees from all over the county tackled Stephen on the Government's plans for welfare reform, some expressing concern about what this might mean for them and for those they support and care for. Stephen assured those attending that the Government is determined to make sure that welfare benefits go to those who need and deserve assistance, whilst cracking down on fraud and ensuring that benefits are properly targeted. Afterwards, Stephen said, "With change inevitably comes concern, which I appreciate. I have been pleased to meet individuals from CANadda today and to do what I can to allay that concern, and I have promised to take specific points back to ministers in London and to respond further to everyone in due course."
