How to use the email for MPs

Please click below to choose the letter that is right for you.  You only need to download one letter.  

In the email you will see XXX.  This means you need to write something, e.g. your name.  Remember to delete the XXX!

You will also see suggestions of what you can write [IN RED CAPITALS LIKE THIS].  When you have written your explanation, remember to [DELETE THIS EXPLANATION].

You should send it as an email, because of the short time before the debate. You can send as an attachment, or copy and paste.

Please let DeafATW know if your MP has said he is going to the Westminster Hall Debate and/or is writing to the Minister for Disability about the cap.  I will share this information with the UKCoD Employment Group, as this will help us know which MPs may help us in future.

If you have any questions, or need any help with the letter / email, contact DeafATW.
