More details

To give people with a life long illness no matter how it effects them to automatically be given DLA or PIP. The struggle is hard enough being diagnosed with a illness that last your whole life never mind the people that look after them or the days when they do struggle to do things themselves or can’t get out of bed. Point system isn’t fair and doesn’t help out the people that need the extra help or even support financially going back & from hospital & also day to day life.
