Abstract
Except for full exemption from co-payments, the proportions of MS patients who enjoyed social security benefits seem to be limited in our study sample. The EDSS score is the strongest predictor of the probability of receiving all the benefits. Only a small proportion of patients received care allowance and working permits, probably because such benefits are only granted to people with a high level of disability. On the other hand, the low proportion of patients who enjoyed fiscal benefits for home and car adaptations could have been influenced by the way such benefits are granted in our country.
