Thinking about change at work
If you’re thinking about making changes at work – like moving to a new role, or asking for changes to your current job – you may find it helpful to think about:
- your strengths and weaknesses

This is known as a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, or SWOT analysis.

Legal advice
Sometimes you may need legal advice to help you know if you are being treated fairly, to understand your rights in a situation, or to challenge unfair practice.
We pay the Disability Law Service (DLS) to provide a legal service that offers free, confidential advice to people affected by MS. This service covers employment, disability discrimination, goods and services, community care, and welfare benefits law in England and Wales only.
