Petition Sick and Disabled people shouldn't have to partake in work placement schemes

More details

Disabled people and those with long-term illness should not be required to participate in work placement schemes in order to keep receiving any state benefits.

The current system where sick and disabled people on Employment Support Allowance can be placed into unpaid work for indefinite time periods must be stopped.
