MS took the predictability out of your life. We get you the disability benefits you earned.
Relapses, fatigue, vision problems, balance, cognition — multiple sclerosis disables in ways a single exam can’t capture. We build the longitudinal record the SSA requires. No fee unless we win.
How the SSA evaluates MS claims
Multiple sclerosis is evaluated under SSA Listing 11.09, which covers two paths: disorganization of motor function in two extremities resulting in extreme limitation in standing, balancing, or using the arms — or marked physical limitation combined with marked limitation in cognition, social interaction, or persistence and pace.
MS claims have a particular trap: the SSA sees you on a good day. Relapsing-remitting MS means an exam can look nearly normal between flares. Winning claims document the pattern — relapse frequency, recovery quality, heat intolerance, fatigue, and the cognitive load that doesn’t show on an MRI.
What the SSA looks for
SSA evaluates the functional impact of your condition — how it limits your ability to sustain full-time work — not the diagnosis alone.
Multiple Sclerosis-related limitations SSA evaluates.
These are the functional limitations that most often determine whether a multiple sclerosis claim is approved.
Motor function
Documented gait, balance, coordination, or upper-extremity problems — with neurologist exam findings over time.
Relapse pattern
Frequency, severity, and recovery from exacerbations; MRI progression; treatment history including disease-modifying therapy.
Cognition and fatigue
Neuropsychological findings, documented MS fatigue, and limits in persistence and pace — often the most disabling and least visible symptoms.
Winning disability for multiple sclerosis: what we do.
Disability law is all we do. Here’s how we build a multiple sclerosis claim that wins.
Build the record
We assemble the longitudinal neurology record — MRIs, exam findings, relapse documentation — into the Listing 11.09 framework.
Functional opinion
We obtain a functional opinion from your neurologist covering both the physical and the cognitive sides of MS.
Hearing-ready
We prepare you to explain variability to the judge: what a relapse costs you, what heat does, and why a good hour doesn’t make a working day.
