Spartacus report reveals criticism of benefit reform

The UK Government has been accused of deliberately concealing the extent of opposition to reform of a key disability benefit.

The Responsible Reform report has been backed by major disability charities but was entirely researched, written and funded by disabled people, led by a prominent blogger.

Collaborating using websites such as Twitter and Facebook, the team analysed more than 500 responses to the consultation on the future of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) after requesting them under the Freedom of Information Act.
