The Government has agreed to consider for debate a cumulative impact assessment of cuts and changes that affect people with disabilities and their family carers – if the number of signatories reaches over 100,000. Around 44,000 more signatures are needed before the petition closes on 12th December this year.
The petition also calls for an immediate end to the Work Capability Assessment, as voted for by the British Medical Association, and a consultation between the Departments of Health and Education to improve support into work for sick and disabled people.
