This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. PIP is paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability, but there are not particular conditions which result in PIP being paid. You can read more about eligibility for PIP here: www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility

If cancer causes difficulties with daily living or getting around a sufferer could claim for PIP in the same way as someone with another health condition or disability.
