  In this work, we examine the sensitivity of monojet searches at the LHC to
directly produced charginos and neutralinos (electroweakinos) in the limit of
small mass splitting, where the traditional multilepton plus missing energy
searches loose their sensitivity. We first recast the existing 8 TeV monojet
search at CMS in terms of a SUSY simplified model with only light gauginos
(winos and binos) or only light higgsinos. The current searches are not
sensitive to MSSM like production cross sections, but would be sensitive to
models with 2-20 times enhanced production cross section, for particle masses
between 100 GeV and 250 GeV. Then we explore the sensitivity in the 14 TeV run
of the LHC. Here we emphasise that in addition to the pure monojet search, soft
leptons present in the samples can be used to increase the sensitivity.
Exclusion of electroweakino masses up to 200 GeV is possible with 300 fb$^{-1}$
at the LHC, if the systematic error can be reduced to the 1% level. Discovery
is possible with 3000 fb$^{-1}$ in some regions of parameter space.
