Make the DWP review the PIP application that’s causing mayhem in welfare system
I am a community psychiatric nurse and over the past year or so having to pick up the pieces because of government failure to provide a safe and affective assessment for personal independent payment.
People with mental health problems are one of the lowest socio economic groups in society. Stigmatised and discriminated against. The application form and face to face interviews are stressful and increasing the likelihood of people self harming and or contributing to suicidal ideation. The assessor is often not qualified to recognise debilitating mental health conditions and hence people are often dismissed as not eligible for payment.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you're concerned about how assessments for PIP affect people with mental health conditions, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You might like to sign this petition instead:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/204010
Otherwise, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
