Petition Don't stop the benefits of people who suffer from degenerative illnesses

More details

We want the Government to realise that there are disabilities which are degenerative such as all types of arthritis. In the majority of instances, younger people cannot have joint replacements because they are too young. Obviously, arthritis for example is not going to get better on its own and it is a debilitating disease.

The DWP should not stop or restrict the benefits of people who suffer from any form of degenerative illness and not just arthritis.
