I was approval in only 3 months. If you have the documentation and spell out clearly all the many ways (employment callenges, cognitive issues, absences from job, hospitalizatoons, fatigue, mobility, etc) that your MS affects your life, I don't think they are trying to keep us from benefits we are entitled to.

SSA's 5 Step Sequential Evaluation Process
Hi, mamabug and everyone. Mamabug, I think "... I don't think they are trying to keep us from benefits we are entitled to." is a very good philosophy to have in these claims. I would also add that it is very important to know and use SSA's five-step sequential evaluation process for disability claims - http://www.ssa.gov/dibplan/dqualify5.htm.
