Rejected petition: Change the recognition of Hyperhydrosis not being recognised as a disability.

Rejected on

I want Hyperhydrosis to be recognised as a disability because with severe Hyperhydrosis lives are ruined.

Because I have this condition and it has ruined my entire life. I developed it when I 12 and since then I've lost jobs, relationships and friendships.


Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We are no clear for what purposes you want this classification. Is it for purposes of recognition under the Equality Act, or for access to benefits or other allowances - or is it in regard to access to NHS treatments? If you submit another petition making this clear we can take another look.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
