Today we're launching our new campaign MS: Enough - make welfare make sense.
Over 1,700 people with MS completed our survey and shared their expierences of claiming benefits. We found that too many people aren't getting the support they need and are having to make difficult choices about whether they can afford essentials or spend time with family and friends.
We also found that the assessment process doesn't always take into account the full picture of someone's MS. More than a third of you told us that the assessment process caused your MS to get worse or relapse.
We'll be working hard to change this. Visit the MS Society website to find out more.
Get involved
You can get involved with the campaign by signing our online petition, or printing off a paper copy to take to your branch meetings or local community events. You can find this in the Resource section here on the volunteer website.
Help us make the welfare system make sense for people with MS.
