I announced on 6 March that the Independent Living Fund will close on 30 June 2015 and that responsibility and funding for all the care and support needs of current users will transfer to English local authorities and to the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales.
<\/p>
The Independent Living Fund took immediate and comprehensive action to ensure that this decision was communicated to users of the fund. Details of the decision, including a link to the written statement, were published on its website on 6 March. Individual letters and an information sheet were issued by post to all users (or their representatives), on 12 March. For the following week, the Independent Living Fund also operated extended telephone hours to handle any follow-up questions from users. <\/p>
