Allow doctors to decide entitlement to pip/dla/carers allowance

Closed 103 signatures

What the petition asks

PIP and DLA are benefits for disabled people to help with things they need. But many are denied these benefits because assessors don’t give the facts in reports and go against the advice of proper medical specialists.
Without DLA/PIP no one can gain carers allowance so carers are not recognised and forced out.

Doctors and medical specialists know and see you on a long term basis to help you with the disabilities people have.

But these are overruled as liars by assessors who only see you for about 1 hour.

Doctors and specialists should work together to evaluate if your entitled to pip/dla and report it to dwp to be put straight on.
