Trigeminal Neuralgia diagnosis to qualify as a life impacting disability
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a life-debilitating condition causing unbearable pain, often referred to as the “suicide disease” due to the untreatable pain. We urge the UK government to recognise TN as a disability, so sufferers can access the support, protections, and resources they urgently need.

Background
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a severe, life-limiting condition leaving many sufferers housebound and unable to perform even simple tasks. We urge the UK government to recognise TN as a disability, provide access to pain relief, increase funding for research into a cure, and ensure patients receive the support and assistance they desperately need.
