Financial support

Living with MSA or caring for somebody living with the disease can mean additional expenditure. It is really important to make sure you are getting all your entitlements in terms of benefits and support as this will make your life easier and give you more choices.

We have a range of factsheets and dedicated webpages with further information about Benefits and Entitlements for people living in the UK and Ireland.

The following factsheets can be downloaded on our Factsheets page:

• Basic Benefits and Entitlements
• I wish I’d known that a Year Ago – England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland
• Personal Independence Payment
• Attendance Allowance

It is important to complete benefit claim forms in the correct way, giving as much detail as possible. We can help with this. You can find more information about the benefits you may be entitled to on our dedicated webpages – https://www.msatrust.org.uk/support-for-you/for-people-affected-by-msa/financial-support-and-welfare-benefits/.

NHS Continuing Healthcare is for people with a long-term complex healthcare need. Further information about this can be found in the factsheet, downloaded from here.
