Rejected petition Give back Life Time Awards to PIP receivers

Those who received DLA's lifetime award were told that their condition WOULD NOT change for the better.

That they'd always have the disability at the level they have when they received the lifetime award.

The move to PIP has not stopped this from being the case.

More details

Many have lost this for having a few good days, what about the bad days?

Many disabled people work, or study & taking away funding for equipment & mobility will put them at square one.

They'll be outcasts.

This is not saying that reforms are not needed. In fact, I agree with reforms but those with Lifetime awards for a permanent, non-changing or worsening condition should be allowed to keep them
