Make chronic migraines and cluster headaches a registered disability
Too many people in the United Kingdom are taking lengthy times off work and school due to their migraines and cluster headaches, and it is not taken seriously enough. People are expected to just work through it, however they are different from headaches and come with a wide range of side effects.

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:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Laws and policies, including the Equality Act, don't list specific conditions and define them as disabilities. In most cases, it’s the impact that a health condition has on the person’s life that qualifies them for support or protection under the law.
You can find out more about showing that you're disabled under the Equality Act here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to support people who are suffering from migraines and cluster headaches.
