Hi all :) I got diagnosed with primary progressive ms last month and am sort of in limbo as to what will happen from now on. Any info as to what to expect would be great as I'm a bit confused with it all.

I am 17 years dx and have lots of experience from MS. If you own a home with a mortgage see if youcritical illness cover. It may cover MS. Depending on how your MS affects u, you may be entitled to PIP. If not now always be aware. Access to work may be able to help with getting to your job. Your local jobcentre may have a ATW advisor.

I don't own my home so not worried about that :) Haven't applied for PIP yet as it's based on how much help you need and, at least for the time being, I'm pretty independent. Still driving at moment but have had to switch to an automatic as my left leg likes to do things on its own. Things may change though as I didn't realise I had to report the MS to the DVLA.
