Dropping hours
Hi. I was diagnosed with ms in October. I work full time but since diagnosis I haven't worked a whole week due to absence, phasing in etc
. I wonder if I were to drop my working hours to 3 days instead of 5, do i qualify for any financial assistance to make up the difference? I'm 51 and live alone.

Hi @NormaW, and welcome to the community!
Dropping your working hours sounds like a sensible suggestion. Have you tried the online benefits calculator to see what you may be entitled to? You can also find out more about the various different benefit awards on Scope's website.1
