Remove benefit reassessments for people with degenerative physical conditions

Closed 2,766 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the DWP to remove the need for individuals to have their benefit claims (such as Personal Independence Payment) reassessed where the individual suffers from life-limiting degenerative physical health conditions in which there will never be an improvement during their lives.
I have been to tribunal court twice to have my PIP re-awarded even though I have a genetic degenerative disease which limits my life and will never improve but only get worse.
