#DisabilityBenefits 
I noticed that @meaglemp Maria Eagle wasn't one of the MP's in favour of changes for disability benefits.  20 years ago when Maria was head of works and pensions a close friend of mine was diagnosed with a chronic illness.  Despite being very ill my friend was refused benefits.  I wrote to Maria and she was warm, understanding and helpful.  We need more MP's like her.
