Debbie, we are in California, and I don't know if it varies by state. When my husband stopped working about 8 years ago at age 53, he had to go on state disability which required physicals, etc. However, after a few years, he was designated fully disabled and now receives Social Security, no need for physicals or more forms. With something such as PD, once he couldn't work any longer, I don't know why it didn't automatically go to SS. I wanted to scream at them asking if they thought he was going to get better? A little drama, but the forms and physicals were annnoying.
