Bring Welfare Assessments back to the DWP and scrap contracts with providers

Closed 47 signatures

What the petition asks

There are widespread reports of Capita producing PIP and ESA assessments that are inaccurate, contain factual errors and ignore important evidence. There are too many appeals being lost by the DWP because of Capita's incompetence.
People are being made seriously ill as a result of the appalling record of Capita’s assessments. It seems Capita make headlines about errors and omissions in all their govt contracts but the most serious is their atrocious record in Welfare assessments.
