Review personal independence payment screening for Chronic “invisible” illness

The questions involved are completely irrelevant to illnesses where you can be seen to be able bodied. but illnesses such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis as well as many others are being completely overlooked due to reasons such as “you can prepare a meal”, “You can shower and clean yourself.” “You can walk 100 meters” but these factors don’t mean that we can hold down a full time job and in some cases even part time. But more often than not we need support and assistance.

The Government should review whether the PIP process is treating people with invisible illnesses fairly and ensure assessors and questions are suitable.
