Change Carers Allowance to make DLA/PIP not mandatory

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To allow more options to prove care and mobility needs where DLA/PIP is hard to get.

Many disabled people are being deprived or denied DLA/PIP due to incorrect reports which many decisions are taken to tribuneral to be over turned meaning they should of got them in the first place.

This makes it longs months where carers are not getting financial support and are still expected to look for work even at reduced hours.

Caring doesnt stop because PIP stopped. We need different options to provide proof of care and mobility needs of the disabled to get carers allowance for careers

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

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. We understand you'd like new criteria for who should be entitled to Carer's Allowance, but we're not sure who you'd like to be covered.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
