diag with mised pure hell illness/msa and can't get disabilty because --- didn't work so many conseutive quarters or years and I was between the wrong age bracket. That was in 1995. Thank God I have a pension....so far. I was very young. stress is too much so Social Workers found funding elsewhere for care. What I am trying to say nicely is when u get really really ill, u will get basic care of bathed , toileted, fluids. All I can say is I totally understand. HELPFUL HINTS FOR MOMS OR DADS Sew basic dresses. Joanne fabrics has fabrics at the end of the season for 1-3 dollars a yard. Simplicity, McCalls, Butterick has seb sites to order patterns from. Joanns has them for .99 every few months. Social security is a tax. uneditted nm Mary Helen wrote: >posted: Does anyone know if Parkinson's is on the list of impairments for Social >Security that are considered so severe that they automatically mean that you are >disabled as defined by law? >XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX >It was seemingly so long ago - I don't remember who from what office said it. But while I was going thru the process, I called a few federal offices that might be related to enforcemrnt of the Feds disability law and I was told PD was recognized as a >"catostrophic disease" by the Feds. Thank God I had no problems getting certified tottal disabled. I was a single mom with 3 kids by the time I was 18 And was divorced. BY the time I was finally diagnosed I had already been strugggling (no child support, no family support and no welfare nor any other public assistance) So when I first heard PD described by the feds that way I was totally overwhelmed. > >maryhelen ( a- used to-be-"young"-onset PWP) > >maryhelen > >response from maryhelen > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] >In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
