BBC Radio 4 programme seeks views of autistic people

ARM UK has been contacted by the BBC Radio 4 programme, “The Report” (which airs on a Thursday evening from 8.00 until 8.30).

They are interested in talking to autistic people who have experience of being on Incapacity Benefit or Employment Support Allowance and then being re-assessed as qualifying for Job Seekers Allowance only.

They would also like to talk to people who have experience of appealing against this.

They are also interested in people on Incapacity Benefit or Employment Support Allowance who have been assessed as capable of working and have taken a job.

They are particularly interested in talking with people who have had a negative experience of the benefit system.

The programme about disabled people and the benefit system will air in a couple of weeks.

It is not specifically about autism so it would be great for a autistic perspective to be represented.

Anyone who wants to contact the programme makers can email us at info.armuk@googlemail.com  or telephone on 0191 2596384.
