Personal Independence Payments for Over 65sOver 65s are as likely if not more likely to need these payments as their younger counterparts. As people get older their joints and body become less able to cope with public transport especially if they have disabilities, but they also need to be able to remain independent in order to maintain their quality of life.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bob McGechan

Team United East LothianChildren with autism need extra support to enable them to play football and participate in other sports and activities. This support isn’t available in mainstream activities. Children with autism and adhd benefit from physical activities and feeling part of a team also boosts their self esteem. Children with autism deserve the same opportunities as other kids to participate in football and other activities.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kate Kerr

Disibilty benefitsPretty much everybody who has had the assessment has ended up with ' 0 points ', but head injury is not like usual disibility. Most people who have suffered a brain injury can walk & talk etc & come across as normal at first contact. We all have memory and concentration problems & an extreme lack of motivation, unable to cope with stress or confrontation, amongst other problems that I can't actually think of off hand, which makes us basically unemployable. It is so stressful resulting in people giving up or going into extreme depression, often resulting in the unthinkable. I myself had to leave my home in Leeds & move close to family for help & support. It took a couple of years to get things sorted & I was given over £4000 in back pay cos they realised they were wrong in their decision - 8 months later I had to go for another assessment, exactly the same results & my ESA stopped again. Unfortunately the Dr at my surgery that was a specialist in head injury & helped to get the decision reversed has left & the disibility hub in Redhill which also helped, has closed. I can't cope with things myself so have left it cos the last thing I want is to go into a depression again, which unfortunately is inevitable. Thanx to Llidl & charity shops I can still live to a bearable standard, but we are talking about living on £10 a week for food & spending a lot of time at my mum's, especially during winter because at home I rarely have the heating on, cos I simply wouldn't be able to afford it. If anything could be done to make the government aware of the problems they have caused it really would be appreciated Thanx Stacey Godsell169 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stacey Godsell

Living with DisabiltiesMy wife Leanne is only 45 years old and is suffering with a multitude of life changing health issues, the one that depresses her is the liver issues which is making her body retain fluid, causing her weight to spiral out of control...unstable type 1 diabetes is making it virtually impossible to lose the weight, other health problems are not making it easy for her ie COPD, limphodema, kidney problems, IGA (no immune system) fybomyalgia etc. The council said I have to pay for a wet room to be built in our council flat as I work, over £5000 I'm having to pay for this just so my wife can bathe... I work hard, pay all our Bill's but because I work I'm penalised, it's so wrong.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Nadin

Protect ill and disabled people from dishonest and brutal PIP assessorsI have read too many stories of assessors telling lies and ignoring things which confirm provided evidence and are in the claimants favour. I recently experienced this for myself. My assessor was rude, ignorant and her behaviour verged on abusive. This is wrong! If anybody else came into my home and treated me the way she did, I would call the police but I felt forced to comply with her because she held the keys to the support I need. I am a vulnerable person, yet the DWP has no safeguarding measures in place which protect me or other vulnerable people from abusive assessors. Also, if the DWP insist on putting ill and disabled people on trial, shouldn't they take on practices used in courts which make the process fair??21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joanne Baxter

PIP assessments should not be outsourced to private companiesThe UN committee on disability rights have asserted that the UK government have systematically failed to meet its commitments to the disabled. The outsourcing of PIP assessment constitute a significant part of that systematic failure.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Layla Glantz

For more individuals with disabilities to become MP'sThis is a crucial topic that must be addressed more, this is because 1 in 5 people will have some sort of disability. There are 11 million people with disabilities in the UK and there are unfortunately only 5 disabled MP's. This is why i would like to change this and allow everyone to be represented in the UK.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Taylor Davidson

Bigger best before date labels on foodI am a support worker and much to my shame I had not thought of this until a tenant mentioned it this week as she likes to be independent, she likes to be involved in all aspects of her life and you would think this would be an easy one. Anyone with sight difficulties would have to go around carrying a magnifying glass to see most of these dates. A simple fix would be for food manufacturers to increase the size of these labels.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Tallamy
