MS
and Caregivers
Multiple sclerosis affects the entire family. Spouses, mothers, fathers and children as well as friends become caregivers — integral to the health and well-being of people with MS. Unfortunately, caregiving can have negative effects on the health of caregivers themselves and their own financial security.
The MS Society is asking for an immediate change that will make a big difference:
Make the Caregiver Tax Credit and the Family Caregiver Tax Credit Refundable – right now this isn’t allowed.
