Petition Review PIP eligibility criteria and award payments based on medical diagnoses
We believe many conditions should receive Personal Independence Payments (PIP) that currently do not. Disabled people can incur additional costs and we feel the assessment criteria does not take that into account.
More details
We think that a diagnosis should be enough and that this change could ensure fair access and dignity for all. In 2022, the National Audit Office found that in the previous 6 years at least 69 suicides could have been linked to problems with benefit claims. The system is often reported as being dehumanising and cruel.
We think that more people and a broader spectrum of people should be awarded PIP. We stand against changes to reduce PIP claimants.
