The first time I applied for PIP was in 2015. I’ve been receiving this benefit ever since. I have received a booklet which I have to fill in & return regarding how my condition affects me. In the advisory notes it says to provide any documentary evidence which support how my condition has cha…

Hi everyone, Hope you’re all well. I’ve been having a lot of issues with my employer. They know I have MS, but have refused to make any adjustments for me. I’m a school teacher and asked to be taken off duty at lunch time, but they’ve made me feel like I’m the really unreasonable and un…

Hi everyone, Worried that MS will affect my career prospects, perhaps unnecessarily, I’ve made the decision not to disclose my condition at work. But I fear that my symptoms give me away. In a meeting with my manager a couple of months ago I noticed him looking at my hand, when I looked dow…
