I hope this helps.
Babinski sign
1. extension upward of the toes when the sole of the foot is stroked firmly on the outer side from the heel to the front; normal in infants under the age of two years but a sign of brain or spinal cord injury in older persons
Hoffmann sign
1. In latent tetany mild mechanical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve causes severe pain;
2. Flexion of the terminal phalanx of the thumb and of the second and third phalanges of one or more of the fingers when the volar surface of the terminal phalanx of the fingers is flicked. Synonym(s): digital reflex, Hoffmann reflex, snapping reflex
Lhermitte’s sign
Electric like sensations shooting down the back and limbs when the neck is flexed (actively or passively) and sometimes when it is rotated; due to a cervical cord lesion; most often identified with multiple sclerosis.
Romberg sign
When a patient, standing with feet approximated, becomes unsteady or much more unsteady with eyes closed. Open, it is a sign of proprioception loss.
Proprioception
A sense or perception, usually at a subconscious level, of the movements and position of the body and especially its limbs, independent of vision; this sense is gained primarily from input from sensory nerve terminals in muscles and tendons (muscle spindles) and the fibrous capsule of joints combined with input from the vestibular apparatus.

MSF 262 SSDI MS Disability.
I hope this helps.
If you live with multiple sclerosis and are unable to work due to an MS-related disability and/or other conditions, you might be entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) benefits. The Social Security Disability Guidebook can assist you in deciding whether applying for disability benefits is right for you, and in navigating the complex application process. Additionally, information about certain types of MS that may qualify a person for an expedited review of their application for disability benefits is provided on this website in the section on Compassionate Allowances. The Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes MS as a chronic illness or impairment that can cause disability severe enough to prevent an individual from working. If you have any of the following symptoms, or any combination of these or other symptoms that prevent you from working, you might qualify for Social Security benefits:
Difficulty with walking and other motor skills Difficulty seeing
Difficulty concentrating or completing simple tasks
Difficulty remembering
Extreme fatigue, regardless of sleep
Speech impairment
Side effects of medication(s)
While SSI and SSDI provide different benefits, SSA uses the same disability determination process for both. You can even qualify for both at the same time. This Guidebook, Applying for Social Security Benefits: A Guidebook for People with MS and Their Healthcare Providers focuses primarily on the SSDI application process but includes helpful information for both programs. If you need additional information or help as you read through the Guidebook, contact an MS Navigator, call SSA at (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators).
The Society's MS Navigators help identify solutions and provide access to the resources you are looking for. Call (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) or see "More info" to contact us online.

My husband took long term disability from work. He tried to go back a few times but was unable to work. He applied for disability and was granted it. We didn't hire a lawyer. We just applied. I believe he had to be off of work for a year before he started getting paid. I know they take into consideration the job that you are doing.

I didn’t have to go before a judge and didn’t have to hire a disability attorney. I honestly filed for disability at home on my computer. I still went to my neurologist. I think when I filed for disability, Social Security got my medical records from my neurologist. I’m sure when they saw how thick my medical records were they probably just said they weren’t even going to fight it. LOL! I would file for disability if I were you.

I am not paralyzed. I can still get around. I recently got a rollator to help me get around because I started falling frequently. Since getting one, I have no problem getting around. I have gone from Remitting Relapsing to Secondary Progressive, but I can still do what I need to do. You can too! Don’t let MS control your life. You’re the boss.
