I have been living with PPMS for a long time now and it never truly badly effected my cognitive and physical abilities until 2021 (I am now 60) year on year now it has got worse till the point I walk with crutches with bad times in a wheel chair, I have lost my job as I cannot travel and when I of have effects they can stop me traveling to my work. I have never been out of work before and never been off long term sick? I have applied for work and I still am sending applications however whenever PPMS pops up is a thanks! but no thanks. will loose my house and my car in the next few months and i am at a total loss what to do. Is there anyone or group that can assist me as I get set to go through his life changing transformation. My family has grown up and moved outing my wife left me when the disease became more active. It’s the divorce that will make me potentially homeless. My treatments are fine the infusion’s help the support from the NHS has been great, I am just facing a situation I have no knowledge off and everything seems so complicated.

Hi Try calling the MS Helpline in their opening hours and I hope they can point you towards helpful resources. Could you possibly do your job or similar, from home and in that way continue to earn? I wish you well
I am really sorry that things are so tough. I hope that you have a good lawyer in your corner as you negotiate the financial settlement if that’s still in play: these things are supposed to take account of needs as much as possible within the constraints of the size of the pie to be divided. That means your needs as well as your spouse’s.
