Roger has signed a letter and petition organized by the Multiple Sclerosis Society calling on the Minister for Disabled People, Esther McVey MP, to make further changes to to the regulations and guidance that will come in effect when Personal Independence Payments (PIP) replaces Disability Living Allowance (DLA) in April.
