NCB Now: Concern over Welfare Reform Bill

The Every Disabled Child Matters (EDCM) campaign is concerned about the impact of the Welfare Reform Bill on low-income and out-of-work families with disabled children.

The government announced in September that its proposed policy to reduce financial support for low-income and out-of-work families will impact on up to 70,000 more families than it had originally estimated.

Families have told EDCM and the Family Fund these changes will be "devastating" and will "reduce quality of life for the whole family".

This policy does not impact on children in receipt of high care disability living allowance or children with severe visual impairments.
