• recognizing that plaintiffs attempts to attend school part-time did not establish her ability to engage in substantial gainful activity nor did it negate her multiple sclerosis disability
• noting employment after multiple sclerosis diagnosis was temporary because it “is an incurable, progressive disease subject to such periods of remission and exacerbation.”
• “Multiple sclerosis is an incurable, progressive disease subject to [ ] periods of remission and exacerbation.”
• “Because the . . . period wherein plaintiff attempted to work and attend school was unquestionably a period of remission, we believe the ALJ erred in placing undue reliance on this brief and temporary interruption of plaintiff’s progressively disabling condition.”
