Petition COPD is a Terminal Illness too!

More details

Each year thousands of people die from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and yet this is not covered by the DWP's Personal Independence Payment form for Special Circumstances.
The only group that is covered by this are sufferer's from Terminal forms of Cancer.
I ask the DWP to rethink covering other groups of people with illnesses that rob families of their loved ones due to illnesses like COPD andMotor Neurons Disease among others.
So please change the categories of illnesses covered in the Personal Independence Payment Special Circumstances form.
