Great form, but I don't see anything about speech impediment. Also, something that I personally had a problem with, is toilet routine. Especially with office clothes. A major issue that is not addressed in the form, is fine motor control. I'd hate to be a motor mechanic with PD...

The form is available for download on our Web site. (see: http://www.parkinsonsaction.org/sites/default/files/InteractivePDDisabilityForm_final.pdf It has been brought to our attention that people with Parkinson's may experience trouble seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits due to inadequate documentation of symptoms in their medical record. This form may be helpful to Social Security reviewers during the SSDI/SSI application process. It was created with the hope that it will be used by both clinicians and patients as a way to document and track a person's symptoms with particular focus on the symptoms that are most likely to interfere with one's ability to work. The Parkinson's Disease Work-Related Disability Assessment form is designed to supplement a patient's medical record and is not a Social Security Administration form or application. PAN, together with the other national Parkinson's organizations, asks for your help in distributing this form. Distributing the form to people living with Parkinson's, caregivers/carepartners, doctors, support groups, and online communities is essential in assuring that the form makes it into the hands of patients and doctors and ultimately into medical records. The form can be downloaded, printed, posted on bulletin boards, discussed with doctors or support groups, and posted on-line. It is free for all to use. PAN thanks Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc., now part of Abbott, for their generous support of the creation of this important project. > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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
