Rejected petition Make it possible for Chair sufferers to claim disability allowance.

I have Arnold Chair Malformation. This is a rare disease and needs to be recognised so people like me can claim disability living allowance when it's hard to keep on working in pain

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. PIP is paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability, but there are not particular conditions which result in PIP being paid. You can read more about eligibility for PIP here: https://www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility

If you have any disease that causes difficulties with daily living or getting around you could claim for PIP in the same way as someone with another health condition or disability.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
