George, I have read with some interest the various postings to you about your medical and your legal situation. I would just caution you that each posting is specific to that person's background and experience, and sometimes the writer is not always clear about which disability program he/she is writing about, often times the information provided does not seem to me to be appropriate for your situation. The people on this list are very helpful, invaluable at times, and they have tons of information about every aspect of PD. You are at the beginning of your investigation into PD and your economic/legal situation. From your posting I would guess you know exactly what is going on in your life and the information you need to go forward. You have come to the right place to get information, and you are, indeed, getting bombarded with lots of information. It probably does not make a whole lot of sense to you right now, but you will be fine, it will start making sense as you go on. Just be careful, go slowly, and shift and winnow. You will figure out what is helpful to you and what is appropriate for you and your specific situation. Good Luck and Good Health, Katie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
