Background
The benefits system isn’t working for people with lifelong conditions like Crohn’s & Colitis, as a result, people are being let down by the Government. Changes to PIP & Universal Credit’s health element (LCWRA) will make things even harder, Government understands that health conditions can fluctuate especially with lifelong conditions like Crohn’s & Colitis & impacts people of all ages, life with a chronic condition is unpredictable enough without adding financial uncertainty to the mix
