Pat Onions has submitted an e-petition against the cuts to Disability benefits and services, on to the UK government website. She says:
"We were determined to attend the Hardest Hit rally in Edinburgh. Determined, in spite of disability, to stand with the others who had made the long and difficult journey. Determined to show we were united as one voice against the vicious cuts we are all enduring. We knew there were many thousands who couldn’t make it. Disability, ill health, providing care, or cost would prevent them coming. We made it.
To the many there and those who came in spirit……….this petition is for us all."
Pat’s petition reads the following:
Stop and review the cuts to benefits and services which are falling disproportionately on disabled people, their carers and families.
