We’re pleased to share that the ME Advocates Ireland (MEAI) Cost of Disability Submission has now been completed and submitted to the Department of Social Protection.
We want to sincerely thank every person who has shared their experiences with us over the past few years, especially those who reached out recently. Your emails and private messages have been vital in helping us highlight the real financial challenges faced every day by people living with ME-related disabilities.
This submission reflects voices from across Ireland, bringing together the lived experiences of our community.
We hope this consultation process leads to the development of a fair, inclusive, and needs-led Cost of Disability payment.
