Rejected petition People with type 1 diabetes should be entitled to personal Independance payment

I want government and parliament to accept that diabetes is a disability and it does affect daily living and these pele should be entitled to personal independence payment

More details

I as a type 1 diabetic have been refused personal Independance payment 3 times now because it doesn’t affect my daily living. Diabetes is a silent disability and it affects my daily living everyday. I want the government and parliament to look into why this is being refused and this should be accepted even if it is the lowest rate payable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

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. If diabetes 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.
