I would agree with regard to the concerns in rural areas. We hear lots of stories of people with MS who sometimes have trouble finding the services they need. Therefore, this particular decision to enable nurse practitioners to assist in signing off on a particular portion of something like a disability tax credit is helpful, because it would expedite the process. The sooner someone with MS or a similar illness or disability has access to the supports, the better.
