Personal Message from June Brown, Actress - EastEnders.

"I am worried that the Disability Living Allowance Review is unfair as the form is tailored towards physical disabilities only-not Mental Illness, HIV/AIDS, Cancer sufferers, nor does it take into account the side effects of the medication on their general health.

Not only will people lose entitlement to Incapacity Benefit, their free travel. motability vehicle but also the Severe Disability Premium of Income Support so they will be forced into the utmost poverty, which can do nothing but harm their condition.

Employers will be reluctant to offer work due to the necessity of frequent hospital visits, periods of admission and bouts of prolonged ill health.

I would ask you all to support this petition in the hope this review is reassessed and to endorse the TCell campaign."
