Falling Incomes Hit Poorest Londoners Hardest Says New LSE Research. I speak to disabled Sharon Collins who after paying her bills Is left in the red.
Estimates suggest that in london in 2007/08 the poorest 10%of individuals who experience a limiting long-standing illness or disability had a weekly after housing costs income of less than £141. By 2012/13 best estimate suggest that this figure had fallen to £100. This is an apparent fall of around 29% (£41 a week) double the equivalent figure for Londoners without disabilities and more pronounced than elsewhere in the UK. #TrustforLondon #LSE #poverty #disability #livingwage #wealth http://bit.ly/1C9upSr
