Make CRPS complex regional pain syndrome a recognised Disability....

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

CRPS is a misdiagnosed condition the most painful 1 to mankind, Awareness is key, This Disease know as ‘The suicide Diseases’ needs to be recognised as a Disability, I cannot believe such a painful condition can be overlooked.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) doesn't name specific any medical conditions that are defined as disabilities. In most cases, it’s the impact on the person’s life that qualifies them for support or protection under the law.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to support people who are suffering from CRPS.
