200+ signatures, I cannot thank you all enough! Since this is getting known I shall share my own personal story. I was diagnosed with manic depression and severe anxiety at the age of 19. I have been on different medications ever since going from Citalopram, Fluoxetine, Setraline and the list goes on. I'm now 20 years old, 21 in June and worry about the benefit system, DWP and the Government that run this country. As some of you may be aware, recently the Government gave themselves a huge bonus, revamped their bars/restaurants inside while we are all searching under our couches and behind our night stands for pennies to live on. How can they do this you ask? Well simple, we gave them the power and trust and they have used this to their advantage and taken over our money. So what should we do about this? Well that my friends is very simple, we need to stand up as one against the discrimination of people on benefits, the mentally and physically disabled people! We need to fight back against Theresa May, the Government and DWP for making our lives so hard when we did not ask for such a hard life, we did not ask to be disabled so why should we be treat like dirt on their shoes. I saw most of the comments on this petition and happy to see we are all in understanding. We need our pensions back, we need the NHS funding to go back up and we need our benefits re-evaluated to a massive degree! We should NOT have to beg for our money nor have to rely on our partners money for when we get married to them. We are NOT greedy nor do we need pity, we need the UK to have a kick up its arse before more people die from benefit loss and homelessness. Please share this far and wide and thank-you all so much for your support...I really hope we can make a difference and get this to Parliament. I wish I could go to Parliament and stand up in there for everyone like myself. I have enclosed another link I have found about a man who "died for 10 minutes" due to heart problems has had his benefits cut to £20 a week! Ridiculous! C'mon people, we need to be heard and have our voices raised for them to stop killing us! Thank-you all, Shannon Simpson
