Petition · past parliament

Instate an Indefinite award for PIP recipients with life-long health conditions.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

When PIP replaced DLA, it removed the Indefinite award for health conditions unlikely to improve during the course of a lifetime. This in the long-term will only increase the cost of pointless reassessments and tribunals, and inflict an entirely unnecessary heightened degree of stress on claimants.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

PIP should have life-time awards for life-long and/or progressive conditions.
