Disabled students could be 'shut out' by government cuts
may 2014 by FearMeForIAmPink
Some of the support I got through the Disabled Students Allowance, particularly the PDA it got me, were a real help in getting myself organised, actually managing to make all the things I was supposed to, etc. I think I'd've had a much harder time without them.

Affordable homes facing demolition because of bedroom tax | Society | The Observer
november 2013 by FearMeForIAmPink
There isn't the spare housing for people to move around like the bedroom tax wants them to. And it's not a bad thing for people to have spare rooms. But the government keeps on pushing this, because it's a way to punish people on benefits.
