A new review of the WCA, a new way to take action

Many hundreds of blind and partially sighted people are being removed both from benefit support and from the help and support they need to find work as a result of the flawed WCA. In 2013, Dr Paul Litchfield will be conducting an independent review into the WCA and it is vital that this review results in significant improvements to the experiences blind and partially sighted people.

Take action today!
