State turns the screw once more on people with intellectual disabilities

Some people with an intellectual disability are owed rebates by the State because they were improperly charged in the past.

The State which owes those rebates has told them they can pay the State the back-money they owe out of the rebates the State owes them! In effect the State is clawing back what it owes in the first place

I THOUGHT we had come a long way where people with an intellectual disability are concerned. I didn’t realise we have a Government that appears to want to punish them for being independent, that wants to make them pay, and pay through the nose. It is the most shameful and shaming act I could attribute to any government, let alone the Government of our rich country.
