I Have MS (Multiple Sclerosis). Do I Qualify for LTD Benefits?

Unfortunately, far too many people throughout the United States struggle with multiple sclerosis, or MS. This is a disease that can affect various aspects of an individual’s life, and in profound ways. In many cases, MS is a disabling disease of the brain or spinal cord. This occurs as a result of their immune systems attacking the protective sheath around their nerve fibers, thereby disrupting communication between their body and brain. Unfortunately, there are a wide array of symptoms that those with MS have to face on a daily basis, including numb or weak limbs, tremors, lack of coordination, painful electric-shock sensations from regular, non-drastic neck movements, and additional nervous system issues. Further, MS can cause serious issues with vision, as well as severe pain in the eyes. In many cases, MS can cause fatigue, dizziness, and even slurred speech. The bottom line is that if you are experiencing these symptoms on a daily basis from MS, there is a very good chance that you find yourself unable to return to work once again. This is entirely understandable, though in many cases, insurance companies won’t make it easy for you to recover the long term disability benefits you require.
