Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Social Security Disability, and Applying for Benefits



For more information on:   Social Security Disability and SSI Disability.


Over 2.5 million people worldwide suffer from MS or Multiple Sclerosis, a disease in which a person’s immune system attacks their nervous system. Unfortunately, there is no known cause of MS, but scientists know that both genetics and environment play a role in developing the disease.

MS can cause a host of issues, from fatigue, blurred vision and loss of balance, to speech problems, depression and paralysis. No two cases of MS are alike and the symptoms can be highly different, depending upon the area of the brain that is affected by the disease. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) can help to determine the extent of multiple sclerosis.

Although there is no cure of the disease, there are many treatments available that aim at reducing symptoms and reducing the frequency of attacks to the nervous system. Medications and therapy can help keep the disease under control. New studies have also shown that there may be a link to multiple sclerosis and a genetic defect in chromosome 6. Tests are ongoing.
