How long till we get such letters?

I just came across this quite unsettling news about cuts to care for people with Disabilities: ‘Adults with disabilities in England are being deprived of basic care and support and are at risk of being forgotten in the wider reform of the social care system, campaigners say.” That is shocking, but dare I say not really surprising. Time and time again throughout history, whenever a society comes under any kind of pressure, social, economic or whatever, those with disabilities are always the first to suffer. Right now, Lyn and I are fairly okay – we both have the support we need. But such news items make me worry, and wonder how long it will be before we get a letter through or door saying our support will have to be cut. My heart also goes out to the increasing numbers of people who have already received such letters.
