  MS Tied to 75% Increased Risk of Mortality in US Study

  Posted by John Connor on June 27, 2022 at 1:26 pm

  Though MS is not itself a terminal disease, our chances of dying earlier than otherwise are likely to be some 75% higher.
  Not a great start to a topic but there is at least some upside. If you have a private pension in the UK and make it to retirement age, with a disease like MS you can opt for an enhanced annuity. This gives u a fixed annual income for life (v. handy when there’s sudden raging inflation – who knew?) and at a higher rate than u would have got otherwise. Also (at least with mine] a gross pay-out to my beneficiaries if I were to die in the first 5 years. True, by no means as much as has been put in overall, but at least a goodly amount.

  Have no idea if this relates to where you live. But hope it does. Please let me know.
