DESPITE its pledge, the Government continues to discriminate against people who become ill or disabled after the age of 65 by refusing them Disability Living Allowance, worth £41 a week.
Roger Berry MP is introducing an Early Day Motion calling for an end to this age bar and I urge everyone to ask their MP to support him.
