Reform the way PIP assessments are conducted for deaf people

What the petition asks
We think PIP claims for deaf people should be assessed through the form, with no telephone or face to face consultations.
I urge the Government to reform the way PIP assessments are carried out for deaf people. Many deaf people experience stress and depression without being able to communicate, and I feel PIP assessments make it even harder. I believe there is a lack of understanding.
