MS and Income Security
Multiple sclerosis has a profound impact on the ability to earn a living.
Over time, up to 80 percent of people with MS can no longer work. Often this is because of a lack of accommodation by employers and a lack of appropriate government supports.
The MS Society is asking for some important changes that will make a difference:
Make Employment Insurance sickness benefits more flexible to allow people with MS or their caregivers to work part-time and receive partial benefits.
Make the Disability Tax Credit, Caregiver Tax Credit and the Family Caregiver Tax Credit refundable benefits.
