LETTER: Hang your head in shame over DLA, Mr Hayes

John Hayes, hang your head in shame. You have voted to abolish Disability Living Allowance.

This will mean absolute misery for thousands of people across our country, young and old. People who have served this country well in the forces and through no fault of their own are now left with disabilities.

You were elected to serve the people of South Holland and The Deepings; instead you have chosen to further your career.

You really have no idea how your disabled constituents live or how they will manage now that they will lose a significant amount of financial help, being as your salary is £72,962 per annum at present, you have two homes, one in London and another in Moulton with all your expenses paid.
