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.
Causes of MS Pain. Pain in MS is directly related to either an MS lesion or plaque in the nervous system (nerve pain), or the effects of disability. When MS makes moving about difficult, stress on muscles, bones and joints can cause pain (musculoskeletal pain). Pain in MS can be caused or worsened by infection, or pressure ulcers. Nerve pain can be continuous and steady or sudden and irregular. Nerve pain is reported in varying degrees of severity.
