Benefits and Disability

This page contains information about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome as a disability, the help that can be accessed, and the benefits that could be available for someone living with CRPS. For many, CRPS is an invisible disability or invisible illness because the cannot be seen. Living with CRPS can often present a number of different practical issues and problems, from clothing to mobility aids.

Here we will cover:

• Mobility Equipment
• Blue Badge
• Getting Around with a Disability
• Guides to Help With Benefits

Mobility & Accessibility Equipment

Many people who live with chronic conditions such as CRPS, CFS/ME, Fibromyalgia or chronic pain can struggles with mobility and so might use mobility aids, such as walking sticks, crutches, canes, wheelchairs, braces. There are also accessibility aids that can be used around the home to assist with daily living.
