Incapacity Benefit has now been replaced by ESA.

ESA is intended for people with a medical condition that prevents them from working. The MS Society have a booklet to help you make a claim.

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) has replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for adults under 65.

PIP is based on an assessment of individual need. To find out more check the National MS website here.

If you are aged 65 or older with care needs and not receiving DLA or PIP.
