Enable ANY Endometriosis sufferers with PIP income support & a blue badge.

Endometriosis sufferers deserve rights to income support and a blue badge. This is, under EVERY circumstance a disabling illness.
The nature of this untreatable long-term condition is that it affects women for their entire lives. This should get the recognition that other disabling illnesses get.

The Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. PIP is paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability, but there are not particular conditions which result in PIP being paid. You can read more about eligibility for PIP here: https://www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility

Similarly, Blue Badges are automatically awarded to people if they receive certain rates of particular benefits, but are not normally awarded because people have a specific condition. Local councils, not the Government or House of Commons, are responsible for deciding who is eligible for a blue badge.
