Determining Whether You Can Still Work With MS
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative neurological disorder that can permanently damage your central nervous system. Symptoms include sensory problems, muscle weakness, difficulties with coordination, visual problems, pain, fatigue and serious depression.
In many but not all people with multiple sclerosis, serious flare-ups are followed by periods of partial recovery. However, each flare-up may leave you with additional lingering symptoms.
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disease that does not necessarily prevent people from working early on. However, it often eventually causes functional disability.
Advanced multiple sclerosis can limit your ability to control your extremities, as well as your cognitive abilities, to an extent that prevents you from holding down a full-time job. If MS is having this effect on you, you may be entitled to Social Security disability benefits.
Ida and Stephanie were great! They kept me posted about my case. They provided documents for my doctors to fill out so I had as much medical records as I could! Stephanie represented me in the Judge appeal and was great asking me questions about my disability and helping me convey those disabilities to the judge! I’m so grateful ☺️ for their help! Highly recommend them!
Working with Hiller Comerford was easy. They took care of everything and their communication was exceptional. I’ve already referred others to them.
Seriously grateful to my attorney, Ryan Taylor. I spent years trying to navigate VA disability on my own and they managed to finally make headway where I could not.
Everyone I spoke with and worked with was extremely kind and had great communication also they were compassionate,they worked very diligently to help me and kept me well informed throughout the process I couldn't thank them enough.

I am truly grateful for their assistance and highly recommend their services.
My lawyer RyanTaylor was amazing. He told me exactly how the process goes, what to expect and how long it realistically would take. He was able to get for me exactly what I had tried twice to do myself but was rejected by the VA for. I will recommend all my Veteran friends to him.
Hard workers, always looking at the positive side of the case and always listening to the client. Only down remark is hard to get calls back.
Hiller Comerford have been amazing. They got me a fully favorable decision on my disability claim, I could have never been able to do that on my own. Everyone in their office is so kind and so knowledgeable. They really helped make a difficult time of my life a pleasure. Thank you so much Hiller Comerford!!!

I would highly recommend The law firm of Hiller and Comerford.
Pursuing Every Opportunity to Get You Approved for Benefits
Multiple sclerosis is on the Social Security Administration’s listing of impairments, so you can qualify for disability benefits if your condition is severe enough to meet the criteria of the listing. You can also qualify by showing that the limitations imposed by the disease prevent you from working.
Our attorneys are experienced at helping people with multiple sclerosis document their symptoms and limitations by working with their doctors. If you believe your MS has reached the point where it is impacting your ability to work, contact us to discuss your options.

“I am a Marine Corp veteran who turned to the Law Offices of Kenneth Hiller for help and assistance with filing a disability claim. Even though I am a college graduate I still couldn’t fully understand the process. The attorneys who represented me treated me with kindness and patience. They helped me understand the process and the results were very favorable.” – Jason Watson
