At the moment in Mexico the World AID Conference is underway.

And the issue of Benefits, the Disability Living Allowance and the HIV community is being raised.

This is being done by the Terrence Higgins Trust and you can find the poster presentation and detail from their website by clicking here

I know the issues we face as very much the same as every one else who engages with the DWP.

Certainly when we engage through writing etc. though we deal primarily with the HIV community we do so in the context of just one part of the wider affected disabled community.

HIV is likely to be only one of many disabling conditions that affects our community and in some cases may not be the primary disabling condition.

As always www.hivbenefits.co.uk is updated with out activity regularly and is an independent resource.

Best wishes to all,

John.
