Is multiple sclerosis impacting your ability to work?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease which impacts the central nervous system, specifically through the deterioration of nerve fibers. There is currently no known cure, and symptoms and effects can vary significantly from person to person.

When a case of multiple sclerosis becomes severe enough to impact your ability to work, your situation can feel hopeless.

Eligibility factors for SSDI benefits

If multiple sclerosis has significantly impaired your ability to work, you may be eligible to receive Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits. This eligibility will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • The severity of your multiple sclerosis symptoms
  • How the symptoms impact your daily life
  • Documentation and assessments from medical professionals
  • Evidence of limitations on your ability to work
  • Your work history

The Social Security Administration (SSA) reviews claims on an individual basis. When you file a claim, the SSA will consider medical evidence, work history, and vocational factors to determine whether you are eligible for Social Security Disability benefits due to the effects of multiple sclerosis. Our team can help you gather evidence to support your claim, and craft a strategy to make a strong case.

Crafting your SSDI strategyProving to the Social Security Administration that you meet its requirements for SSDI eligibility is key for securing benefits.

To achieve this, our team will help you gather medical evidence, provide you with guidance on how to effectively document the severity, frequency, and effects of your symptoms, and compile details of your work history. These steps will help strengthen your claim, giving you a better chance of receiving approval from the Social Security Administration.

The limitations you have as a result of multiple sclerosis are one of the biggest factors that the SSA will consider.

We will collaborate with you to make sure that those limitations are described in sufficient detail, which will help us make a compelling case together. We have handled hundreds of these claims, and know exactly what works best when it comes to getting SSDI claims successfully approved.

We’ll fight for you.Multiple sclerosis can happen to anyone.

The way it impacts the nervous system can make it an especially difficult condition to live with. Despite this, SSDI claims submitted by individuals with MS are closely scrutinized (and often rejected) by the Social Security Administration. We can help.

Every SSDI case has challenges. Deadlines have to be met, and the proper paperwork needs to be filed. Your claim needs supporting evidence. You may even have to file an appeal if your claim is rejected at first. Hearings may be scheduled so that the Social Security Administration can look into the facts surrounding your claim. Our team has the skills to guide you through every one of these challenges, so you can overcome them on your path to winning the benefits that you deserve.
