Some 107 people took part in a question time event at Devizes Town
Hall hosted by Carer Support Wiltshire to mark National Carers Rights
Day.
Devizes MP Claire Perry, Citizens Advice Bureau chief executive Sarah
Cardy and solicitor Simon Lofthouse, from Awdry, Bailey and Douglas,
were among Friday’s panel answering concerns over welfare reforms due to
begin next April.
Questions ranged from the effects on households under-occupying their
properties – the so-called ‘bedroom tax’ – to whether ATOS, the French
company responsible for work capability assessments, should be penalised
for the inaccurate tests.
