Petition Common sense should prevail over claimants suffering genuine disabilities having their benefits stopped

More details

People who suffer from genuine illnesses or disabilities such as arthritis, motor neurone disease, Parkinsons Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Cystic Fibrosis (to name but a few) should be automatically placed into the ESA support group. After all, there are no cures for the above illnesses or disabilities.

Common sense should prevail and sufferers from any life threatening condition are only going to get worse and not better.
