When you are diagnosed with a health condition, you need to understand what information and support is available to you. That’s why it’s fantastic news that the government has committed to referring more people into the vital support that charities can provide.

The Prime Minister is facing the largest revolt of his career as a welfare reform deal with Labour MPs may not be enough to get the bill passed in a Commons vote later. It comes as around 80 disability and human rights groups are calling on MPs to vote against it.…

Tomorrow, MPs vote on the Universal Credit and PIP Bill. Over 35,000 people have taken action. The UK Gov is listening – but changes to the Bill are not enough. Tell your MP to vote against the cuts and protect all people with #arthritis: action.versusarthritis.org/page/171839/ac… #CutToTheBone

🚨 BREAKING: Over 100 MPs stand up against devastating cuts to PIP. This could stop the UK Government’s plan in its tracks. Almost 30,000 people have taken action and emailed their MP. It’s working. But we can’t stop now.

Cutting PIP will do nothing to help people into work, when so many rely on this support to stay employed. Slashing carers allowance will hurt those selflessly looking after loved ones and taking pressure off our NHS. The Government must change course on these flawed proposals,…

With temperatures reaching 30 degrees later this week, it’s important to know the difference between heat exhaustion and heatstroke. If heat exhaustion turns into heatstroke, it needs to be treated as an emergency. Find out more on the NHS website ⬇️

Thank you to Martin Vickers MP for highlighting the need for a government strategy to support people with #arthritis. We look forward to hearing further plans from the Health Minister. People with arthritis must have support to live the life they choose.
