We’re very sorry but it isn’t correct.
All of the posts refer to this article which was published yesterday.
The article is talking about a case in 2013, which the ILF Campaign won, which quashed the governments original choice to close the ILF because they had failed to follow correct procedure, which the government did accept.
However this year in March, having redone the Equality Impact Assessment for closure of the ILF, the Government announced that the ILF would be closed for a second time.
See the DWP announcements here , here and the closure programme and transfer to local authority control here and the second equality analysis here
The DWP Website states that the ILF is closed to new applications. The revised date for full closure of the fund is now June 2015
It is this second closure that we are now campaigning against, whereas the article refers to the first ILF closure.
We will keep fighting the closure of the ILF, no matter what it takes, and one day we will all be celebrating the saving of the ILF, of that we are sure.
But sadly that day is not today.
The fight goes on. Please watch for further announcements
