I read that people that have been diagnosed with MS within seven years of discharge from the military may be able to receive assistance for their medical needs. The reason for this is because MS is considered a military related disease. People that may have been in the Reseves or National Guard instead of full time may or may not be qualified for assistance. My husband was in the National Guard so we are currently looking into whether he is eligible for assistance.

I think that since MS is considered a military related disease that maybe this holds the key to finding out what causes it and finding a cure.
