I live in Maryland and I think it is how you do the forms. I applied for my husband more than 15 yr s ago and had no trouble.He had back surgery. I worked for a Dr for 32 yrs and did those forms. You need to put down everything about you not just your disease now. Be sure to list every ache and pain and hospitalizations. Keep applying. No lawyers. -----Original Message----- From: Kathleen Cochran <[log in to unmask]> To: PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Mon, Nov 8, 2010 2:00 am Subject: Re: Disability Insurance People's experience of the disability process seems to be quite variable. I hink it probably depends a lot on where you are. In New York State it seems o be almost expected that you will be rejected on the first attempt. n 6 November 2010 10:13, <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I had no problem getting my disability even after I was on social security. Parkinsons is one disease they seem to accept ok. Do not need legal help. -----Original Message----- From: Peggy Willocks <[log in to unmask]> To: PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sat, Nov 6, 2010 2:00 am Subject: Re: Disability Insurance Do not (DO NOT) secure an attorney until you have been denied approval - here is no case until that time. If you know what to expect up front, you hould have no trouble. I don't know how you email me offline (private) as 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 n initial judgment on your application - you must dot every "t" and dot very "i" in order to get past that hurdle.

Does anyone ave experience on this issue? I am in my early 60's and find that my Parkinson symptoms are making it ncreasingly difficult to perform my job satisfactory. Most of the roblems are not physically visible: tremor is slight, but the toe and leg cramps are often unbearable, good night sleep is rare and thus constant atigued and depressed. I have worked for the same organization for over 25 ears and paid for disability insurance every pay period. I am trying to ecide if I qualify to claim disability or if I need to take early retirement. Thank you for your advice, ngie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- o sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto: [log in to unmask] n the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- o sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto: [log in to unmask] n 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- o sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] n 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
