Disabled people need help to stay in work | Letter Letters: Sara L Uckelman says the Labour government has slashed her Access to Work grant despite her circumstances not changing

It doesn't do any good to say "let's get disabled people into employment" if at the very same time you're cutting the support that *keeps* disabled people in employment. Here's my letter to the Guardian about Labour's cuts to Access to Work funding:

Four UK universities announce plans to cut over 750 jobs www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-u... - it'll probably be way more than 750 jobs once these cuts bite. And spread across the sector. Hard to stress how awful this is.
