An injured worker receives relief from most state and all federal taxes on indemnity earnings related directly to workers' compensation as provided under state statutes. But this does not apply to retirement disability payments, only to workers' compensation.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, meaning it affects the brain and spinal cord. In the most common type (known as relapsing remitting MS), symptoms come and go. These can run the gamut from mild tingling to more severe vision loss. However, MS is tricky. Because so many other conditions can also cause similar symptoms, a hypochondriac could easily think they have it when they don't. On the other side, it can take years or even decades for people with MS to be diagnosed.
Dizziness and vertigo are often early symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Lesions in the brain that result from MS can affect balance. This can cause vertigo. The balance issues caused by dizziness and vertigo can increase the risk of injury due to falls.
