Health and disability benefits Green Paper

22 March 2025

We, with many others in the ME community and other organisations, share serious concerns relating to the government's recent health and disability benefits Green Paper.

We are currently working through the Paper and will be sharing information on how the proposed changes could affect people with ME and opportunities to engage with the consultation.

We will also outline how we will be working to ensure that people with ME are not unfairly impacted by any changes, which will include working closely with our network of Parliamentary Champions and the APPG on ME.

Any changes to disability benefits must not negatively impact those they are there to support.

We have requested to sign Scope's open letter to the Chancellor and you can sign the petition to share your voice.
