Allow all children with JIA to be entitled to DLA

Closed 153 signatures

What the petition asks

JIA affects every aspect of everyday life, most children with JIA have accompanying conditions & deal with pain everyday. DLA helps to help ease some of the everyday pressures faced as a family.With recent cuts DLA have been taken away even though no there has been no change in the child condition
JIA is a painful disease that causes children to be affected everyday of their lives. As parents is exhausting and distressing seeing your child in constant pain and struggling with simple everyday tasks, other normal kids don't have to even think about doing. Having to fight for a benefit for your child and prove their eligibility is unfair when you have the medication, professional diagnosis and substantial photographic and video evidence to support our claim.
