This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition No means testing of DLA/PIP, Carers Allowance and Attendance Allowance.
Those with disabilities and those in receipt of carers or attendance allowance rely on these benefits to pay for everyday costs. Means testing of these benefits will greatly reduce the eligibility of already difficult to get benefits.
More details
People are worried enough as it is with the current cost of living crisis without the added worry of suddenly having their benefits stopped because they don't meet any new eligibility criteria.

Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance are not means tested, and the Government has not announced any plans to make these benefits means tested.
Carer's Allowance is subject to eligibility criteria including having earnings under £132 a week, and there have not been any announcements of plans to change the eligibility criteria for Carer's Allowance.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
