Ideas for MS Cases and Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability cases are very difficult to win so you must make sure that you have developed your case as well as possible.
Even serious illnesses such as multiple sclerosis must be completely explained to Social Security in order to win.
For instance, a diagnosis of MS is not sufficient to win a case.
In disability cases you must show how the condition or disease limits you.
Some people may be able to work full time with MS and others with MS cannot even work part-time.
The most important way to help your Social Security Disability case is to explain to your doctors your major symptoms and how it effects your daily activities.
Such as weakness, spasticity, numbness, fatigue, cognitive problems, walking problems, depression.
Tell your doctors if your MS limits your ability to use your hands and fingers, if you need to use a brace or cane, if you must take naps and for how long, if you cannot concentrate or focus for more than short periods.
Enlist the help of your doctor to describe your limitations. Such as “it will help your condition to take at least 2 naps a day for one to two hours each time.” Or “make sure that you do not use your hands more than a few hours per day.” Or “do not stand or walk more than 2 hours per day.”
Each doctor is different, however they may be willing to document your limitations and express their opinion whether you will be off task more than 20 percent of the day because of your MS symptoms.

Terrible injury. Failure to protect workers and a resulting permanent injury that will limit a person for the rest of their life should be subject to workers’ compensation benefits and fines.
