What the petition asks
The government are again changing the goal posts for the sick and disabled, it's time the government stopped the onslaught to the sick and disabled with even more planned cuts.
since 2010 cuts to the sick and disabled amount to 40%
While the government has given the rich elite tax cuts, the governments PIP assessments are stressful, intimidating and a lot carried out by unqualified people. PIP rules are again being changed to STOP even more getting the help that they need.
The government needs to stop the constant demonising and using the sick and disabled as easy targets to save money.
