Do not (DO NOT) secure an attorney until you have been denied approval -
there is no case until that time.  If you know what to expect up front, you
should have no trouble.  I don't know how you email me offline (private) as
I would rather not publicize my email here, but I will be happy to help you.

Each state has Social Security Administration (SSA) employees who will make
an initial judgment on your application - you must dot every "t" and dot
every "i" in order to get past that hurdle.

Subject: Disability Insurance

In general, can a person with Parkinson qualify for disability?  Does anyone
have experience on this issue?

 I
 am in my early 60's and find that my Parkinson symptoms are making it 
increasingly difficult to perform my job satisfactory.  Most of the 
problems are not physically visible:  tremor is slight, but the toe and
 leg cramps
 are often unbearable, good night sleep is rare and thus constant 
fatigued and depressed.  I have worked for the same organization for over 25
years and paid for disability insurance every pay period.   I am trying to
decide if I qualify to claim disability or if I need to
 take early retirement.    

Thank you for your advice,
Angie
