The Americans with Disabilities Act supports long-term disability as an option for MS patients, and over 40% of patients rely on some sort of disability insurance for their income. However, before you apply for disability, it is important to discuss with your doctor the progression of your symptoms. The application process for long-term disability insurance is a lengthy one, and if your symptoms are manageable, you may be able to continue working while you apply. There are many legal employment protections that will help you manage a new work schedule around your symptoms, and depending on your line of work you may be able to work from home where you can be more comfortable. Many doctors will recommend that you stay working as long as you can, but as you age or as the disease progresses and symptoms get worse, long-term disability is a viable option. Along with your doctor’s office and insurance agent, there are many resources that will help you simplify the application process.
