Stuck in Limbo with a probable diagnosis of PPMS and after looking at all the 4 criteria for the SS listing for MS, I more than meet all four criteria (i.e. Disorganization of motor function, mental impairment, etc) used in evaluating Impairments caused by MS. Do have MRIs that show significant lesions, though rest of testing is inconclusive.
Doctor has encouraged me to begin process of filing for Disability......but how can I when I do not have a "official MS" diagnosis...just Probable? In his off records words..more than likely...I guess we wait for whatever he feels he needs to make it official.
Can I file using MS as a reason for disability without an official diagnosis?I am not sure what to do or how best to approach this....
Also...has anyone else been successful in obtaining disability with "probable"...and disabling MS Symptoms.
Was it a years long process or short?
Any advice would be appreciated
