No means testing of DLA/PIP, Carers Allowance and Attendance Allowance.
Those with disabilities and those in receipt of carers or attendance allowance rely on these benefits to pay for everyday costs. Means testing of these benefits will greatly reduce the eligibility of already difficult to get benefits.
People are worried enough as it is with the current cost of living crisis without the added worry of suddenly having their benefits stopped because they don't meet any new eligibility criteria.
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:
Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance are not means tested, and the Government has not announced any plans to make these benefits means tested.
Carer's Allowance is subject to eligibility criteria including having earnings under £132 a week, and there have not been any announcements of plans to change the eligibility criteria for Carer's Allowance.
