are excluded.
Motor Neurone Disease
Motor neurone disease
characterised by
progressive degeneration
of corticospinal tracts and
anterior horn cells or
bulbar efferent neurones
which include spinal
muscular atrophy,
progressive bulbar palsy,
amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis and primary
lateral sclerosis. This
diagnosis must be
confirmed by a neurologist
as progressive and
resulting in permanent
neurological deficit.
Multiple Sclerosis
The definite diagnosis of
Multiple Sclerosis, and
must be supported by all
of the following:
