Hi MSers, Hope you are well. In the UK MS is a disability by law. Such as certain cancers and HIV, if you didn't know we are protected by the Equality Act. I have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and I am not in a wheel chair. However, I have difficulties walking but you won't really notic...

We are getting somewhere: I spoke to the Rail Ombudsman just to ask for help about who to talk to they were *very* keen to get involved. If you are interested then read on. I have enclosed my summary for the ombudsman. It is pretty dull if you aren't thinking about a Disabled Persons Railcard. Th...

Hi all. I went to apply for one (a UK thing) of these and the website doesn't list MS as being an eligible condition. That annoyed me so I wrote to them and cc'd my MP (Ed Vaizey) as it seems to be out of line with the Equality Act 2010. You can't just pick and choose the disability you feel is wort...

I was interviewed for MoneyBox Live on BBC Radio 4 the other day because they (the Rail Delivery Group in charge of the cards) still haven't changed their site to make it clearer as they had promised. The interview ought to go out next Saturday but as with all things media, it may get bumped. I am...

Don't you hate those horrible evil eye people, giving you the hairy eye when you park in the disabled spot. I get the Rangers pull me up and check my photo on the sticker. I get your not crippled so why are you parking there. Enough is enough I yell back " "take my parking and take my disease " An...

My latest relapse has really affected my mobility. I've bought myself a scooter which really helps give me some independence. I've got two young children, so it means I can now do the school run, get out the house to see friends and other parents. When venturing out of the village where I live thoug...

Hi all, has anybody managed to get a disabled person's railcard lately? (Who does not qualify for PIP) If so would you mind sharing the process and what was needed. TIA

Just a quick public service announcement to let everyone who's UK based know that (in spite of what the Disabled Person's Railcard website suggests) people with MS are very much eligible for the card, and the 30% discount on rail travel. The website makes it look like you're only eligible if you are...
