Abolish current PIP assessment, replace with one that considers all disabilities
Following on from a widespread open letter to the DWP regarding the rejection of my sisters claim for PIP we have started this petition with an aim of abolishing the current PIP assessment and replacing it with one which considers the effects of non visible disabilities and illnesses.
My sister suffers with epilepsy and dissociative seizures and episodes. She has been signed off of university and work for a year due to the severity of her condition. She has medical evidence from her neurologist and video evidence of what happens to her during a seizure or episode. However, following a PIP assessment she has been rejected. We have been contacted by thousands of other people, this is not an isolated case.
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:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
