The Issue
I am a chronically ill Independent PIP Consultant with the goal of providing the kind of support and awareness I WISH was available when I first became chronically ill (I was 29 years old, I am now 47).
I am entitled to and do claim PIP myself; this funding changed my life. The Government’s recent decision to introduce a new rule is threatening this lifeline for those who have fought through the invasive, degrading assessment process and finally won. They/we depend on this support.
They are saying you now need a MINIMUM score of 4 points in at least ONE daily living activity to keep/get the daily living funding from 2026 (new claims and on reviews). This change WILL deny access to the daily living component to those who are genuinely in need but cannot score the 4 points in a single activity. We know through our experiences the way the scores are allocated rarely match our daily life, many should have had 4 points but do not get this result.
The Government must reconsider this change. We MUST protect the most vulnerable among us and ensure their dignity through compassionate support. Therefore, we need to urge our Government to reassess this new rule.
We need 100,000 signatures and then this (legally) must be discussed in parliament. I am not trying to be our spokesperson but I am trying to unite us. We need to raise our voices so loudly that activists and specialists can continue fighting on our behalf. This is how we help ourselves and those that cannot fight for themselves.
Remember, YOU, your family, friends, neighbours and co-workers CAN all sign this petition
It is NOT acceptable to target a vulnerable community WE MUST SPEAK UP and be HEARD
Please, sign this petition now, please sign for the chronically ill, sign for fairness, and sign for justice.

The government is proposing making changes to the benefits system. This tool helps you write a response to their consultation. It is designed for disabled people and their families.
The government’s changes are complicated, so we’ve broken things down into four main proposals. Here’s how it works:
- We’ll ask a question or two about each proposal and suggest some things to think about in your answer. You don’t have to respond to every question.
- We’ll compile all your answers into one response.
- Copy this response into an email to send to the Department of Work and Pensions.
This should take about 20 minutes to complete. While that might seem like a lot of time, it’s much more effective to take the time to write a consultation response that is tailored to you.

We urge the Government to:
Cease any changes to PIP eligibility that would reduce access for those in genuine need. Maintain inflation-linked increases to ensure PIP keeps pace with the cost of living. Conduct a transparent and meaningful consultation with disabled people and advocacy groups before implementing any reforms.
We stand against policies that put financial strain on disabled individuals and demand fair, compassionate, and well-evidenced reform.
