Closed petition Review employment support including ESA available to autistic individuals

In the UK only 32% of autistic individuals are in some kind of paid work. That statistic shockingly shows that the vast majority of autistic individuals are unemployed, with many more only in low-paid part-time work.

More details

I’m calling on the Government to review the financial support that is available to autistic individuals, including Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), so that they can achieve paid employment.

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
