This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Stop repeatedly assessing people whose medical conditions will never improve.

If someone is assessed to establish whether or not they are entitled to disability benefits and they have a condition that has no medical likelihood of improvement, then to reassess them is a waste of time and money from the DWP's point of view and an unnecessary cause of distress to the individual.
