While I don't have any specific knowledge of a similar case (my husband retired from teaching because he was too weak to continue managing a class), I would say that if this individual failed to tell the whole story, it could redound badly later. If he were not completely forthcoming about his condition, and his employer learned that he had foreknowledge of PD and didn't report it, wouldn't that be grounds for denying him insurance altogether? k. >Parkinson's Action Network recently received an inquiry from a local >Parkinson's >afflicted person who is concerned about a claim for workmans compensation. > We would like to pass along any input people have about the situation to >him. > >He was injured on the job, and in filing for worker's compensation, he was >asked to provide information about his medical history for the last ten >years.
