London 2012: Entire Paralympic team face extra disability living costs
Quote from article:
Every one of Britain’s Paralympic squad faces extra living costs because of their impairment, according to the captain of Britain’s blind football team, the latest Paralympian to speak out on the importance of disability living allowance (DLA).
David Clarke, who announced his retirement from football after his team finished competing at the games, said that withdrawing DLA for those with extra costs would “jeopardise the independence of disabled people”.
