Rejected petition Scrap PIP assessments and prosecute those responsible for this policy.

Rejected on 6 July 2018

The assessment process for PIP involves answering humiliating, degrading and debasing questions, and causes uneccessary stress and cruel mental suffering. This is prohibited under Article 3 of the Human Rights Act.We call on Government to scrap this process and prosecute those responsible.
