I am about to fill out my paperwork for disability and I have a question. It seems like I have read someone else say that I should answer the questions as to how I am on my bad days. Is this correct? Like when in a hard flare?
I have not filed for disability, however I have maintained a journal since I was diagnosed and it entails everything that I have experienced with having MS. I explain what I experience when on a flare-up and a bad day. The good and the bad that I experienced with 4 different injectable medications and also how I have handled all medications prescribed. It also identifies all of my Doctors.
I would say it is better if you identify more rather than less.

I too saw that, and with intial application hit snafu, called toll free number because I got letter instructions telling you go online to complete disability report. Could not, do rep said to print it plus the adult function report, complete and mail. I added 6 pages of paper to answer each question in detail, sent. Week later I get call from local office asking why I did that, it had to be online and they do not need .he function report. Hopefully they just mean it comes from another department, how else will they know. Just reading my jobs since 2003 won't prove.
I'm not confident at all, despite very curri medical records ( only official diagnosis in May) f active Flair's may ,& July .....severe depression & anxiety, plus the obese and high blood pressure. I just had 5 hours memory test. Results some normal, others indicate I would be in institution as could not care for self, like getting dressed. Psych Said she thinks severe depression. So results are skewed. Referrals to psychologist and pyschiatrist. But it's all so frustrating with everything for disability claim and knowing it's usually a long battle.
@A MyMSTeam Member After I got my 1st denial I got a lawyer. And was denied again even with the lawyer. For the 3rd time I had a disability hearing. It would took about 20 minutes and he approved me during the hearing.
@A MyMSTeam Member 3 times when I got denied they were saying I could still use my back even though I am wheelchair bound and have no feeling in my fingers...but they finally approved me Sept 18th
3 years that's nuts
