Reform the PIP assessment
The Government need to reform how assessments are done, and more importantly who does them. Assessors don't alway write what you've said, and make assumptions. They seem to stick to a script to make it harder to give them a representation of daily life. Some even only giving you yes or no questions.
The assessment process does not work. In the last quarter there were approximately 65k mandatory reconsiderations for PIP, mine being one of them, the initial decision was over turned in my favour. Disabled people aren't being assessed properly, leaving many with either a huge reduction or losing benefits completely.
Being disabled or mentally ill is a challenge, and to be told by a stranger that you're not, is soul destroying.
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:
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. We understand you'd like changes to the PIP process, but we're not sure what you'd like to change.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
