The Seven Families campaign has announced the second family to benefit from the scheme, the Pinders.
Daniel Pinder worked as a rehabilitation officer. He was born deaf, and was diagnosed with epilepsy while young.
In 2009 he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. A video introducing Daniel and his family has been produced by Seven Families.
He said: "Many years earlier I had briefly lost sight in my left eye and experienced different short term episodes until I originally thought I suffered a stroke. When the confirmation finally came in July 2009 that it was MS it came as a relief, because until then nobody could tell me what was really happening."
"The Seven Families campaign is an excellent way of raising public awareness of the real impact of health conditions. The money we received from the project will be used to improve our standard of living as well as training for future employment that is hopefully suited to my skills and abilities. I may also obtain specialist equipment that will aid me to be more independent whether socially or in employment."
The seven families campaign aims to increase awareness of the financial impact of long term illness or disability and the first family to be helped by the scheme was announced last week at the beginning of the campaign.
Peter Le Beau, head of the income protection taskforce and spokesperson for the campaign said: "We are trying to highlight the need for people to plan financially in case they become too ill to earn. The campaign provides a tax-free income for one year and Daniel will receive £700pm.
"It is the first campaign of its kind and it is probably the first time so many major companies have worked together for a common purpose and got widespread support for doing so.
"However, it is not just about the money as each family will also have the opportunity to benefit from independent living, rehabilitation and counselling services."
