I am currently working 18 hours. I'm finding it tough going but I enjoy my job. I know I will have to give up at some point. I just wonder how much I will be able to claim if out of work?

Hi pinkelle
As well as PiP if you have been working and paying nat ins contributions you may also be eligible for ESA it's worth checking out.
Apply for pip as soon as possible it takes ages but they will back date it for you from the date of application.
Good luck

Hi Barry. I've put it in the hands of the financial ombudsman now. No its definitely not on their list but Ms is! I challenged them on that as I said the description they had in the policy of Ms is exactly the same as mnd. They weren't having any of it. Hopefully the ombudsman will be able to sort it. They've told me it may take up to 12 weeks.

Hi Pinkelle;
It seems very promising if MS is on the list. It might be worth emailing Mnda connect to see if they can help as well.

It will only remain so if new people post and keep us updated on things that work or don't work and tips.

I'm sorry Pink that your claim was denied.
I know my critical illness payout made our lives considerably easier for the first few years. ALS was one of the specified illnesses on my policy so the claim was straightforward.
