I feel there should be a list and not just of terminal illness but for progressive diseases too, the people suffering from diseases such as Parkinsons, MS, Motor Neuron Disease etc should not also have to suffer being put through the ringer by ATOS! My partner watched the Dispatches program and also the Panorama program and now feels he won't stand a chance of getting anything so the depression is now starting to set in, he isn't listening to any advice and has stuck his head in the sand all thanks to the assessment system the government have in place and when the changes come in (Universal Credit etc) it may be even worse for those with diseases like this. Thanks for all advice given by the way

My partner has Parkinsons Disease and has recently had his ESA stopped. I have been told by several people that he should have never been put in the work activity group and that there is a list of illnesses/diseases that automatically qualify you for the support group. Does anyone know anything about this list? Thanks
