Meeting with Jo Collinge a Parkinsons Sufferer and Debbie Moss of Parkinsons UK

On the 31st January I had a meeting with Jo Collinge, a Parkinsons sufferer, who had requested to meet me to discuss her concerns about the proposed changes to the Disabled Living Allowance (DLA). Jo, a mother of two, talked to me about how she was coping with the disease and how she is reliant on her DLA for many vital reasons, such as; taking her children to school and spending quality time with her family. Her story is very moving and her determined resolve to live a full life, despite the disease, was greatly inspiring. I really enjoyed our conversation and I hope she came away from it with some encouragement as to how the Government will continue to help her and I wish her, and her family, all the best for the future.
