What the petition asks
People suffering from conditions like cystic fibrosis that have qualified for DLA must currently apply for pip at 16 . This is a lifelong degenerative multi system condition requiring daily medications and physiotherapy
Currently in the UK half of cystic fibrosis sufferers live to be over 40 . Daily medication and physiotherapy is required to help reduce mucus build up and antibiotics to prevent infections that will cause scar tissue damage to lungs . Adults with cystic fibrosis must pay for their prescription medication if they work even though not taking it would eventually result in death
