This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

In the Equality Act, anyone with a physical impairment causing substantial, long-term effect on daily activities is protected from discrimination. The Act doesn't specify specific conditions.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to support people with Meniere's disease.
