More details from petition creator

Gordon

We ask for easier access to benefits within the DWP, Fibromyalgia sufferers are being pressured to produce too much evidence also, we are being asked to attend too many back to work pressure initiatives which compounded with excessive form filling causes flare-ups which does not allow us suitable calm to balance our condition which as you know has no cure.

A Fibromyalgia sufferer would be happy to get out and about, work would be seen by many of us as a luxury, we really do not need to be pressured or lead before we are ready.

Cheers for now Mark Manzie on behalf of those who suffer.
