Don't Write Me Off Campaign

EDM number 2009 in 2008-09, proposed by Paul Rowen on 13/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House recognises that eighty per cent. of people with autism on incapacity benefit want to work yet only 15 per cent. are currently in full time work; acknowledges that one third are without access to either benefits or work; further recognises that the system is failing people with autism; agrees that all adults with autism should be supported to work when they can and be able to access benefits when they cannot work; urges the Government to lead the way with a national strategy that meets the employment needs of people with autism; congratulates the National Autistic Society for highlighting these issues in its campaign Don't Write Me Off; and calls for changes to make the system fair for people with autism.

This motion has been signed by a total of 177 MPs.
