Can Scope not put this suggestion somewhere more prominent than just on the forum?
The more people who email their MP's the better,
The numbers of disabled voters can make a difference0 -
I have spoken with local MP, however he does not feel this is a pressing issue in need of action.
So many unfair decisions had been made by DWP with vary awards made. Some getting over expenses claims and some sere getting less.

A guy was recently awarded a new PIP, and have noticed that, despite being both Deaf and a wheelchair user, his allowance is similar to those who have just one of these disabilities. This means that Deaf people are receiving the same (and in some circumstances, more) than someone who has many more additional needs. I was shocked to hear from another Deaf person, that they were on the top tier of PIP allowance, and on a higher payment plan than him! They also get both two parts as Daily Living and Mobility to walk and travels a lots independently around the globe. Also they qualified disabled blue badge!!

Every PIP application is different @1960 they're not awarded based on any diagnosis, but on how you show them the disabilities affect each of the PIP descriptors. So it could be different for two people with exactly the same disability.0

I hope that you told your MP where he can look for votes ?
Yes the benefits system does need considerable reform but NOT at the expense of genuine claimants…

If they have only closed the disabled toilets but left the normal toilets open - then that is a clear breach of the equalities act 2010.
If someone doesn’t cooperate with their duty to make adjustments, the Equality Act says it’s unlawful discrimination.
The duty to make reasonable adjustment, imposed by the Equality Act
2010, means that provisions beyond that in Approved Document M [AD M] of
the building regulations are likely to be required to anticipate the
needs of a range of disabled people so they have equal toilet access.0 -
Ask all of your potential MP's what they intend to do about the lack of facilities …

That's not good enough - ask your MP why and what they intend to do about reopening them….

I emailed Grahame Morris the Friday just gone and i've not heard anything back. With Parliament being in Recess, does this mean that MPs are not responding to emails from constituents?

I would expect slower responses times during summer recess. As they are expected to attend parliament the rest of the year many choose the recess to take some holiday, given the rest of the year they're really meant to either be in their constituency or be at Westminster.

In my case its not the recess I initially contacted my MP 2 years ago, and then a year later, she simply doesnt want to respond on it.
I was also threatened by her staff when ringing her office.

That is an extremely serious allegation - do you have any evidence / recordings ?
