Save PIP payments for mental health issues

This petition is one of 25 petitions in the movement "Prevent changes to Universal Credit and PIP."Learn more about the movement.

The Issue

Many thousands of people have mental health issues that prevent them from working either full or part time.  They rely on often small amounts of money from the government to keep afloat financially. Mental health is now recognized as important to the functioning of adults but without PIP payments, those who have mental health issues will struggle with worsening stress, anxiety and more, besides falling into debt.  These payments are vital. The government should not be downgrading the issues behind the medical diagnosis of anxiety and depression to make it seem these are 'day to day problems of every day life'. For the sake of some of the most vulnerable people in the UK. these PIP  payments must continue.
