PE01854: Review the adult disability payment eligibility criteria for people with mobility needs

Health

Petitioner: Keith Park on behalf of MS Society

Status:
Lodged

Date Lodged: 17 March 2021

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to remove the 20 metre rule from the proposed adult disability payment eligibility criteria or identify an alternative form of support for people with mobility needs.

Do you agree the 20 metre rule should be removed from the Adult Disability Payment framework?

Can the Scottish Government achieve their aim of developing a disability assistance system based on the principles of dignity, fairness and respect if they keep the 20m rule?

This rule should be scraped immediately.‘I was asked to do it over 60 years ago and I couldn’t do it then , What chance would i have now none Scrap it now we have all suffered enough !!

This is an unfair and discriminatory rule for neurological conditions that vary from day to day. Family member has MS so have seen life with it at close quarters.

Disgraceful. My family member has become worse over the years and their money has been greatly reduced. Shame on you.

MS is a progressive disease which can vary greatly from one person to another and from one day to the next and sometimes within a day! The 20m rule must be scrapped as it is further limiting people's lives who already have enough to deal with on a daily basis.
