PIP is broken. Let's fix it.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is meant to support the everyday realities of living with MS - the things that make independent living possible.
From getting washed and dressed, to preparing food, keeping on top of the house, or being able to meet a friend for a cup of tea - PIP helps cover the extra costs that make day-to-day life work for many people with MS.
But too often, PIP doesn’t reflect that reality.
Instead, people with MS can be left feeling like they have to repeatedly prove the impact of their condition, going through a process that feels exhausting, uncertain, and at times distressing. When PIP fails, it isn’t just financial support that’s lost - it’s independence.
Our chance to fix PIP
Right now, we have a real opportunity to change this. The UK Government’s Timms Review is the closest we’ve come to meaningful reform in 13 years of PIP. It’s a moment where change is on the table - and where the government is actively listening.
If enough of us act now, we can influence what comes out of the Timms Review and shape a fairer PIP system for the future.
We’re not starting from scratch.
This time last year, we faced proposals from the government that would cut PIP. But thanks to campaigning together, we protected PIP and stopped the cuts. Now we have the best chance in more than a decade to improve PIP for the better.
This is a campaign shaped and powered by people with MS. What people with MS say is actually needed to fix PIP and make it fairer.
Together, we’re calling for:
A PIP system built on dignity, fairness, and respect
Better recognition of fluctuating symptoms, so assessments reflect how MS really affects people over time
Scrapping the 20-metre rule and new mobility assessments that reflect the reality of daily movement and independence
Ending unnecessary reassessments for people with long-term, progressive conditions like MS
Add your voice now to shape a fairer PIP system for the future.
