Background

We want the Government to provide greater financial support for women with endometriosis who are unable to work. Such as, increasing access to benefits like Personal Independence Payments (PIP) or Employment Support Allowance, and to increase funding for research.

Additional details

Endometriosis is a debilitating condition that affects millions of women worldwide. We want the Government to ensure that women with endometriosis have access to the healthcare, services and financial support that they need. Despite the significant impact endometriosis has on daily life, many are denied financial assistance, such as PIP, making it even harder for women to manage their condition. We want the Government to better understand the full extent of how endometriosis affects every part of a woman's body and provide more support for women.
