What the petition asks
My wife has suffered for many years. We are in a council flat with 1 toilet and life is really hard. We have requested 2 toilets as we can't even let the kids use it as she needs access 24/7.
Life is really hard but the council won't do anything as it's not a disability. We've tried to get pip but no.
You need your own personal toilet
You can't work full time
Once every 2 years min your having operations
