Our Muscles Matter

Sign the petition for a benefits system that truly supports everyone living with a muscle wasting condition.A woman holding a walking stick walking on a pavement with a man who is pushing a pram. There is a small child in the pram.

In 2024, over half of people living with a muscle wasting condition felt financially insecure. And we know that disabled people face higher costs. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Adult Disability Payment (ADP, the equivalent in Scotland) should be helping – but too often fall short. 

The UK and Scottish governments are each looking at reforming PIP and ADP. The longer these changes take, the more people will be left to struggle with a system that simply doesn’t understand their condition. The decision makers can and should build a fairer system that offers security and understanding instead of uncertainty and fear.

We must urgently demand a benefits system across the UK that recognises all our needs, and our right to live independently and with dignity. 

Sign the petition. Stand with everyone that lives with a muscle wasting condition and who receives PIP or ADP. 

Change is possible. And it starts with us acting today.
