Petition Change the long assessment format for people with M.E, which causes them stress

The payment for PIP for people with ME can take up to four months and every year they answer the same questions. ME is a condition that affect someone’s whole life or it can a short term illness of fatigue. People who have ME are not all able to travel to hospitals for assessments, change is needed

More details

The stress of PIP assessment I have witnessed first hand, the process is too long and to have the assessment every year is unfair. That person’s health may not be any different since the year before. PIP needs to be considered being kept and not keep changing to another system, so that these people don’t have to worry about financial issues or become ill because of the long assessments and worry.
