Vigil held for scrapped disability fund
A VIGIL was held outside the Royal Courts of Justice yesterday in protest against disability minister Mark Harper’s insistence on scrapping the Independent Living Fund (ILF).
Over 70 people assembled outside the Central London court to demand the financial support is kept intact and is a violation of human rights legislation.
Inside, three disabled men — Stuart Bracking, Gabriel Pepper and John Aspinall — fought their case against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
