Petition Action

Any terminally ill person should automatically be eligible for placement in ESA "Support" group.

Additional Information

Currently, terminal ill people with a life expectancy of potentially more than 6 months claiming ESA are still expected to take part in work-related activity groups, I recently discovered.
The government should allow anyone with a terminal illness to claim benefits without having to waste what precious time they have on yet more appointments and assessments, that can only serve to remind them of their condition. They should be free to tend to their affairs, and make the most of their lives.
