Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy to become a recognised disability.

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy, otherwise know as Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy is debilitating disease which hasn't been recognised as a Disability. Causing chronic pain, sensation and motor skills in the limbs and ultimately paralysis I propose needs at least consideration and recognition.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Laws and policies, including the Equality Act, don't list specific conditions and define them as disabilities. In most cases, it’s the impact that a health condition has on the person’s life that qualifies them for support or protection under the law.

You can find out more about showing that you're disabled under the Equality Act here:

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 Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy.
