Recognise in DWP assessments that depression and anxiety are debilitating

Petition Details

I suffer severe depression and anxiety, yet the DWP deem me to be fit for work. I have been refused every benefit I've applied for based on a medical assessment in 2015. I'm certain there are thousands of others in similar positions.

Additional Information

The Government should ensure medical assessments recognise the impact of these illness when assessing peoples’ fitness to work.
