The MS society urged the Government to provide more clarity for more than 3 million claimants who receive PIP
It is ‘deeply unfair’ to leave disabled people in dark over PIP reform, ministers are told The MS society, which campaigns on behalf of people living with Multiple Sclerosis , has urged the Government to provide more clarity for more than 3 million claimants who receive PIP.
Proposals for reforming the disability payment are expected to be set out in a policy paper, published within weeks, which will form the basis of new legislation. The changes would not be implemented until after the general election and the Labour Party, which could lead the next Government, has not yet said whether it would support reform of the disability payments.: “Nearly 60,000 people with MS currently claim PIP and many have found the application process incredibly stressful and humiliating.
“MS can be debilitating, exhausting and unpredictable and the last thing people with the condition need is more uncertainty and stress – with one person telling us the news from the prime minister had made them feel ‘physically sick’.
