Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF) has launched a new tool for people affected by meningitis and septicaemia to guide them through the disabilities rights and benefits system. We are trying to publicise the free service to as many people as possible and would appreciate your assistance in this by putting information on your website, newsletter or publication.

Following meningitis and septicaemia, many families find it difficult to know where to turn for information about benefits entitlement and accessing equipment. MRF’s Disability Rights and Benefits site addresses this need with a quick tailor-made online assessment which allows the charity’s specialist helpline team to guide users through what can be a bewildering process.

We will provide guidance on financial assistance, organising access to equipment, educational support and how to access housing alteration benefits. To access the MRF Disability Rights and Benefits site visit: http://drb.meningitis.org
