Make PIP more accessible to people with rare illnesses

Petition Details

I have suffered from Guillain Barre Syndrome for five years. I have pins and needles in my feet which make it very painful to walk, and muscle weakness and pains in my arms. I am currently waiting a decision from the Upper Tribunal. There are many other people out there in the same position.

Additional Information

There are approximately 1 in every 200,000 get GBS and 20% of these have some form of residual issues. I returned to work because I wanted to try and get back to normal. This hasn't happened and I had to became part-time. I only work two days at a time because I get too tired. I have to get taxi's when I go anywhere because I am unable to use public transport unless someone is with me. Nerve damage means I will not recover. Disabled people need your help.
