Petition Action

Make PIP criminal

Petition Details

In view of reports i.e. a prosthetic leg is not classed as a walking aid.
Making people walk further than they are comfortable with.
Being examined by officials that are paid an incentive to mark you down.

Additional Information

On the news recently it was highlighted that a woman attended a PIP interview who had a prosthetic leg.
It was not classed as a walking aid therefore she lost her mobility payments.
This in turn made her lose her mobility car and therefore her job as she was no longer able to go to work.

The examination room is purposely situated at the furthest point of the building and the examiners bully the patients into walking even though they need to stop or are in pain.

The examiners are paid extra money if they mark a patient down on the points system so that they do not qualify.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you're concerned about the process for assessing people for PIP, but we're not sure what changes you'd like to see. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
