We wanted to alert readers to some current Green Paper campaigning events happening soon – please share any others you are aware of and keep updated on our What You Can Do page.

Multiple Sclerosis Society survey

Charles Gillies from the MS Society has been in touch to say:

“We would like to invite all people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) across the UK to take part in a survey about the government’s proposed changes to disability benefits, including to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

We are very concerned about the proposed changes and the potential negative impact on many people with MS. So, we’re doing this work to gather lots of information and evidence so we can represent the voice of people with MS in our campaigning activity against the cuts and in our response to the government.

If you wish to complete our survey, you must be over 18 years old, live in the UK, and have MS.

If you’re not living with MS, but know someone who is, it would be great if you could share the survey with them.

 The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete. You can access it here.

We really appreciate you giving time to share your experiences. If you have any questions about the survey please don’t hesitate to contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..”

    The fact that DWP are robbing points from everyone in various activities should be raised at these events in order to make disability benefits fairer for everyone. DWP gave me a maximum of 2 points in activities that I should have been awarded 8 points. The amount of decisions being overturned at Mandatory Reconsiderations and Tribunals is 100% evidence of the robbery of points in various activities. Also, any decisions that the DWP make should be based on medical evidence (DWP to investigate medical history) of which would weed out fraudulent claims making disability benefits fairer for everyone.

    I’ll be at the Carers APPG on Westminster on 7th May so I hope I can be there outside  the debate led by Diane Abbott if there are any gatherings planned as well.
