Petition to add MS to Medical Exemptions list

Signed x

Great idea that Hope33 had to get this petition going & spreading the word. It brings M.S to the news and that has to be a good thing.

Like CChick, Sue & others, I’ve had exemption for years, my GP willingly signed.

I see Mem’s point & would agree BUT when ALL MPs have several high pay rises every year, and claim very high, tax free, expenses, every year - maybe 99% of that should go direct to the NHS.

Actually I’m exempt because I have an under active thyroid. Stupid the things that are automatically included and the diagnoses that are not. But yes, if you have a substantial disability, your GP will probably be happy to sign the form.

I’d love to go down the route of not being able to leave the house without assistance. Unfortunately, it isn’t true. I can still make it to the doctor under my own steam, it just takes longer and tires me more than it used to. (“Unfortunately” applies to free prescriptions. I’m happy to still be able to walk to the doctor.)

Signed and shared with F&F and social media.

Signed.
