I'm Sam, I'm 25 and I live on the Isle of Wight with my Nan. Today I spoke at Parliament, which is where MPs meet to make important decisions that can impact people's life. I shared my fears over changes to benefits and told politicians how I might be affected if they are cut. I was there for a discussion called a Parliamentary review. The discussion was about the planned cut of £30 a week from Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) for those in the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG). The review was led by independent Peers in the House of Lords - Lord Low of Dalston, Baroness Meacher and Baroness Grey-Thompson, it was supported by Mencap and other charities.
