I am at the beginning of applying for SSD and I'm trying to fill out the online Adult Disability Report. I had a question about the question 'Have you been diagnosed with any specific condition that is expected to end in death?' Is the answer to this yes because when I die I will still have MS or is the answer no because it is unlikely to actually cause my death?
If I answer yes I get this message,
'Illness Expected to End in Death

Just want to make sure I'm filling this out right. Thank you for your help, JF
