MS is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system attacks the myelin coating of nerve ending, thus producing symptoms. It is not, in itself, a disability.
However, the patient's individual and combined symptoms can lead to disability. For example, a patient may suffer from numbness in their legs brought on by MS for many years without impairment of movement. But if that symptom worsens and causes the legs to cease functioning normally, a person may be considered disabled. There are MS patients that never become disabled in the course of their lives while others deteriorate as time passes.
