I have an IB50 form now thanks to the person who provided this.

Today we heard from Lawworks that they had managed to find us a legal firm that is willing to look at the legal case we have. This legal case is a collaboration with Feedback South London.

We believe there is a case concerning the Disability Living Allowance and Disability Working Allowance Act 1991 and various other pieces of legislation.  We have not briefed or given any detail on this as yet.  It would be unfair to do so. UNTIL we are legally sure.

 Lisa Power from the Terrence Higgins Trust attended the KVN Forum this evening to answer questions from forum members on the DLA Review.

In due course the minutes will be placed by the Chairman on the KVN Forum website.

Questions were drafted in advance of the meeting from members and presented to Lisa for her perusal.

What follows are the points that I picked up.

THT was invited to take part in the DCS Advisory Panel about a year ago.  At the time their membership of this panel was subject to a binding confidentiality agreement.  THT considered it's position on this. They decided it was better for a HIV organisation to be involved to try and make the case for those living with HIV in the UK.  Lisa works with another colleague on this panel.  They managed to get members of BHIVA to also advise on the issues face by HIV people in relation to review, the impact etc. As mentioned they made the case, whether they were listened to by government was another issue. THT were unable to comment until the review pilot started.  THT still meet every 3 months or so as a member of this board.
