PIP should be automatically awarded to people diagnosed with Parkinson's

Closed 95 signatures

What the petition asks

The intention of PIP is to increase people's independence however the assessment criteria is rigged against those with Parkinson's and the assessors don't understand the day to day suffering that we undergo. A diagnosis of Parkinson's is a life sentence and not one that you can be cured of.
