Petition Action

Review the PIP assessment process to adjust for neurodivergence and trauma

Petition Details

Review the current PIP Assessment process, including consideration of ensuring health care professionals are trained in trauma informed practice.

Additional Information

We think the review should also consider:
- How supporting evidence from health/social care workers is considered as part of a claim.
- The additional support available to neurodivergent claimants to understand decisions.

We think PIP assessors need to restoratively work with a claimant, setting out the support put in place to help them live independently.

We think neurodivergent people deserve additional support, decisions made without their full understanding are dehumanising for the claimant.

We think consultants who manage patients' care should be valued for the insight they offer, not challenged by assessors.
