Thank you to Baroness Masham of Ilton.
Further to the letters written after the House of Lords debate on HIV/AIDS.
Today I received a very supportive letter from Baroness Masham of Ilton.
She was one of the members who had taken part.
To quote her first paragraph,
"I am very concerned that individual people with long-term conditions, not only HIV/AIDS are not getting the help and support they should. I know from personal experience of the problems people with HIV can have. Everyone is an individual"
Baroness Masham is going to ask Baroness Thornton to look at the issues and acknowledges we have also written to her. Also she is sending a copy of our letter to the All Party Parliamentary group on HIV/AIDS prior to their next meeting that she is due to attend.
On behalf of us all, we very much appreciate your support here. I will also write to thank her.

From the House of Commons, recieved today
Work & Pensions Committee. From the Clerk.
I received a response to my letter this morning it reads:
"Thank you for your letter of 16th February to Terry Rooney MP. Chairman of the Work & Pensions Committee, enclosing your letter to Anne McGuire MP, Minister for Disabled People, concerning the review of Disability Living Allowance.
I will circulate your letter to the Committee and I will be in touch if the Committee decides to pursue this matter
Signed by the Clerk of the Committee"
So we are making more people aware.
Letter is on the process of being upload to the documents section of the main web site.
So as not to fall foul of identity fraud. Mindful of the Human Rights Act. I have removed identities on the letter. The name of MP's are already in the public domain & thus expempt from this consideration.

A letter recieved today....
I have written to many people about our campaign for equity & fairness. Including government ministers.
Full details are found, at the moment, on the about us page on the main web. I keep this diary so you can see the work done by the team on our behalf.
Anne McGuire, Minister for the Disabled, has responded.
Albeit through a member of the DWP correspondence team as it is "not always possible for her to reply personally to everyone who writes to her". I will be uploading the response to the documents page on the web today.
To highlight some points
I note that they included my NI number on the response. Though I didn't give it in my initial letter. I assume they have pulled my file. It will be interesting to see what happens to my claim going forward.

To highlight some points
- Applies to claims awarded over three years ago under "Special Rules".
- Follows the recomendations of the DLAAB "Special Rules Study" after discussions with various groups representing disabled people. Terrence Higgins Trust in our case.
- It was agreed that the initial enquiry. To medical health personnel. Would be addressed to the HIV consultant.
- With only ONE medical report requested at the outset.
- The issues I raised with respect to the introduction of the Employment & Support Allowance warrant a separate reply ?????
