MS campaigners in benefit protest

Campaigners representing tens of thousands of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the UK have lobbied the Government over "devastating" plans they claim will restrict the right to qualify for a benefit aimed at helping those with walking difficulties.

Protesters have accused the Government of slashing the criteria for qualifying for a higher rate of benefit aimed at compensating people with walking difficulties and which also entitles them to cars, powered wheelchairs and scooters under the Motability scheme.
