This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Disability Allowance and the Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. These benefits are paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability, but there are not particular conditions which result in these benefits being paid.

The NHS already recognises hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) as a medical condition: www.nhs.uk/conditions/hidradenitis-suppurativa/

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Provide funding for HS to be researched and treatments made available: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629080
