#10YearsOfPIP - sign petition today
It’s the tenth anniversary of PIP, ten years of a broken PIP system has meant a decade of stress, indignity and humiliation for people with MS.
A new report shows the devastating impact of the assessment process on people living with MS over the past decade.
The report found:
2 in 3 people with MS said going through the PIP process had a negative or very negative impact on their physical and mental health
6 in 10 people with MS said their assessment report didn’t accurately reflect their MS
over 3 in 5 people with MS said their assessor didn’t consider their hidden symptoms
It’s time for the Government to act
PIP should cover the extra costs of living with MS - like adapted vehicles or mobility aids. Instead, the assessment process is costing people their time, their health, and their independence.
MS is unpredictable and different for everyone. But PIP assessments fail to take into account invisible or fluctuating symptoms.
That’s why the UK Government must fix PIP.
Sign the MS Society's petition to call on the Government for a full review to fix PIP now. Share to yout social media accounts and ask family and friends to sign too.
