Make PIP Assessments Fairer For People With Muscle Wasting Conditions
It was announced in March by Amber Rudd that people receiving PIP who have reached the State Pension age will no longer have their awards regular reviewed. This should be introduced for people with Muscle Wasting Conditions as these conditions get progressively worse over time.

Conditions such as Muscular Dystrophy are non curable illnesses that progressively make individuals muscles weaker over time, after it was announced that people who have reached the State Pension age will no longer have their awards regularly reviewed, I belief that this would also benefit individuals with such conditions as their prognosis is unlikely to change.
