I FEEL I must write to express my anger at the decision of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to take my son’s mobility car away from him.
He was born with cerebral palsy and has endured numerous operations on his legs, so walking is very painful.
Now, because he has managed to make a go of life by working in the NHS, he hasn’t enough points to keep his car. Please change this system; he needs the vehicle to work and he wants to work. Maybe the DWP should look at the people who abuse the system. There are plenty of bogus claimants.
