Public Inquiry into the effectiveness of the DWP in relation to disabled people.

What the petition asks
We demand a public inquiry into the way the DWP deals with disabled people, both within the DWP and with those who seek benefit assistance from the DWP.
Following the BBC Panorama program which showed how some staff at the DWP are treated and how some decision makers behave, I believe the DWP is not fit for purpose when it comes to deciding benefits for disabled people or even employing disabled people.
