Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition of the nervous system that ranges from mild to severe. When symptoms are significant enough to prevent someone from working or completing daily tasks — such as difficulty walking, seeing, or concentrating — MS may qualify as a disability under agencies like the Social Security Administration or the Americans with Disabilities Act. While there’s no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and slow progression, and people with MS who qualify for disability status can access various support services and legal protections.
