Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Public Inquiry into the effectiveness of the DWP in relation to disabled people.

We demand a public inquiry into the way the DWP deals with disabled people, both within the DWP and with those who seek benefit assistance from the DWP.

More details

Following the BBC Panorama program which showed how some staff at the DWP are treated and how some decision makers behave, I believe the DWP is not fit for purpose when it comes to deciding benefits for disabled people or even employing disabled people.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
