The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Laws and policies, including the Equality Act and the PIP assessment process, 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 might like to sign this petition to raise awareness of endometriosis among young women and medical professionals instead:

Alternatively, you could start a new petition calling for the Government to raise awareness among PIP assessors and job centre staff.
