I was automatically transitioned onto LTD from STD with my SSDI case still pending. I went on leave for MS fatigue and 2 impending spinal surgeries. My SSDI case is stalled at the DDS level while they wait for the results from my Neuropsychological Evaluation.
I am 2 weeks past my last surgery and I have completed my 5th neuropsychological evaluation in 10 years. I know the criteria has changed for meeting an MS listing due to a combination of physical (in my case, fatigue) and cognitive issues. A drop of 15 or more points in IQ no longer matters, it seems.
I have a drop of 30+ points in IQ and severe deficits in visual learning and memory. My fatigue is a 57/63 on the Fatigue Severity Scale.
Does it sound like I meet the revised criteria for MS based on Physical + Cognitive symptoms?
