Multiple Sclerosis: Your Legal Rights

By Sara Perkins and Lanny E. Perkins

Book Overview

"This extensively revised third edition continues to provide reliable basic information and possible solutions to the legal problems that often affect people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

In the past seven years, since the publication of the last edition, significant legislative changes have taken place that affect the lives of anyone living with MS. Trying to decipher new laws can be overwhelming, even for the most educated individual. Multiple Sclerosis: Your Legal Rights, 3rd Edition enables readers to plan for the future and face tough decisions, such as:

Can I return to work without compromising my Social Security disability benefits in the long term? How does the expansion of Medicare Part D affect me? Is there any legal recourse for managing my debts?

Excellent choice

This was/is much needed. I wish I had it a few months ago. Very informative about the info one needs to get assistance via medical and SSDI.

Info.

I found this book to be just what I needed,you see I was recently diagnosed and had no idea where to start. I would recomend this book.

good background for legal issues in ms

this book provides a good background on the legal issues surrounding multiple sclerosis. it's written to help people with ms navigate the legal waters and its written for caregivers to also help. it is not an academic text. it doesn't go into detail regarding legislation or case law. this is a very good book that can be helpful to someone with ms.

A Great Reference

This book mades the process understandable. Also, the personal aspects of the book are very familiar to me. I appreciate the author for including the personal details.
