MS is the third most common neurological cause of disability, behind only stroke and epilepsy. The consequences of unemployment related to disability are numerous and may include loss of income and medical insurance and depression. Federal disability benefits can help restore critical income and health benefits.

The Rocky Mountain MS Center offers the Disability Assessment and Legal Clinic programs to those who would like to learn more about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or who are applying for benefits. For a free initial consultation appointment, please contact Stewart’s office directly at 720-301-9708.
