Welfare Reform And Cancer Sufferers (EDM1609)

Welfare Reform And Cancer Sufferers

EDM number 1609 in 2010-12, proposed by Alan Meale on 15/03/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House believes that people suffering from cancer shouldn't be treated differently in the nation's welfare system, depending upon the type of cancer treatment they receive; understands that people with the disease can often take longer than 12 months to return to work because of the debilitating physical and psychological effects of their treatment; and is alarmed by Government proposals in its welfare reforms to time limit employment and support allowance irrespective of whether sufferers are ready to resume their employment, whilst also proposing to double the period of time that people must demonstrate they need personal independence payments from a period of three to six months.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
