The Disability Benefits Consortium is part of the Disability Alliance .

I recieved this email from the National AIDS Trust (NAT) , and pass it on it you are interested in taking part in the survey.

"The Disability Benefits Consortium (DBC)* - of which NAT is a member- are doing a survey to find out more about experiences of the benefits system.

The online survey can be accessed through the following link - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/dbcsurvey - and takes no more than 15 minutes to complete.
 
It includes questions about what people think about work, and if they have ever claimed Employment and Support Allowance – the new benefit for people who cannot work due to ill health or disability. The survey also asks questions about Housing Benefit and Disability Living Allowance to find out more about how people use these benefits.
 
NAT will be able to use the findings in our policy and campaigns work on how welfare reform will affect people living with HIV, so please encourage your service users to fill out the survey if they have had experience with any of these benefits.  The survey will run until 20 October, 2010.
 
For any questions about the survey or NAT's work on benefits, contact Sarah Radcliffe at sarah.radcliffe@nat.org.uk.
