Robin sez,
I’m one of the campaigns managers at 38 Degrees (the UK’s largest online campaign organisation).
One of our members has recently started a petition calling on the UK government to update their web technology. When I saw it I immediately thought of boing boing and wondered if you could help spread the word.
To claim Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance in the UK people are being asked to use Internet Explorer 5 or 6 and other systems that are so out of date they are available on less than 2% of computers.
If you want to claim online you will need to take a step back to the 1990s and hunt through second hand shops for an old PC that you can power up.
It’s a crazy situation.
Update Online DLA Claim System
(Thanks, Robin!)
