Make people with cancer and unable to work automatically entitled to PIP

Summary

Being unable to work due to having cancer does not give you the automatic right to claim PIP, but why shouldn’t it? We think people in these circumstances should be automatically entitled to PIP. Instead they may face an added stress of having to fight the system as well as fight cancer. People going through cancer treatment or living after having life changing surgeries from cancer and unable to work because of this should be automatically entitled to claim PIP but they are not! Yet you can go to the doctors, complain of a bad back and then may be eligible for it. We think it’s so wrong. The government should ensure those going through cancer treatment are automatically entitled to PIP so they don’t potentially have the added stress of having no income.
