    They can't replace cash payments with vouchers because every person has individual needs, and many of those needs can't be met using vouchers. In many cases, the required services, equipment, or support simply cannot be obtained with vouchers.l

    It will happen in the within next 20 years I think…. But I don't know what

    vouchers you would get for epilepsy, depression or being housebound ? but it won't stop them from doing it sadly
