Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The Personal Independence Payment is paid to people who have a health condition or disability which causes difficulties with daily living or getting around. PIP is paid based on the difficulties causes by a health condition or disability, but there are not particular conditions which result in PIP being paid. You can read more about eligibility for PIP here: https://www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility
If cancer causes difficulties with daily living or getting around a sufferer could claim for PIP in the same way as someone with another health condition or disability.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
