Basingstoke MP Maria Miller visited Scope’s Roman House during an open day on Friday, March 4.
Roman House, on Winklebury Way, is made up of two residential bungalows supporting eight adults with cerebral palsy.
The Government minister for the disabled was shown round the unit by a resident and met staff, volunteers and service users.
Mrs Miller said: “I was very pleased to be asked to visit Roman House again, and was glad of the opportunity to meet and talk with many of the residents and those providing this important service.
“As minister for disabled people, as well as the local MP, it was also helpful for me to hear the views of service users about changes to the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) that we are currently considering.”
The Government is considering a welfare reform bill, which would replace DLA with a Personal Independence Payment.
Scope is a London-based charity which looks after and campaigns for people suffering from cerebral palsy. It was founded in 1952 and provides a range of services across the country.
