Petition Scrap PIP & ESA assessments for anyone receiving palliative care

No-one receiving palliative care, whether or not they qualify for DS1500, should have to jump through the hoops DWP assessors set which can stop them receiving benefits.

More details

People with incurable cancers are being sent for assessments to get back to work. Paramedic assessors state people are curable when oncologists know the truth. There's already a lack of support for those dying. No nurses for secondaries until 2020 so we’re told !!! Why make this more stressful?
