My son Zach has been Diabetic since he was 5 years old.  Now, at the age of 12, the DWP have deemed him capable of controlling his own condition and have therefore withdrawn his Disability Allowance.  

NO CHILD with a serious medical condition should be expected to manage their own illness.  If their health is not looked after now, their futures will look very bleak indeed.

I, like many parents with a child who has a serious condition, has had to give up work at some point (for me it was 3 years)  to look after their child and this extra money is desperately needed to provide the additional things that are essential to maintain good health.

This petition is for ALL parents with children in a similar position.  It's a totally unfair system.  Why do some people get DLA and not others when they have exactly the same condition?

No child should be burdened with this.
