This is a final reminder about the MS Society survey on Personal Independence Payments (PIP). They want to know the impact that the change from DLA to PIP has had on people with MS. Unfortunately, the link I used to the survey a couple of weeks ago didn't work reliably, so here is one that does!
The survey closes this Friday, the 9th – so if you would like to share your experiences, you should get over there straightaway.
I wrote recently about having a Lasting Power of Attorney, so that your nearest and dearest aren't left with a complicated mess to unscramble if you are unable to manage your own affairs in the future.
For those of you who got things organised a while ago – between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2017, to be precise – there is a refund due on the cost of setting it up. Details here.
Don't forget that you can apply to join the Independent Living Facebook group, if you would like to spend more time discussing these themes with other interested people.
There are various ways you can get in touch with us: email me; visit our Facebook page and leave a message there; or if it's short and sweet, Tweet!
