Hi" My nane is Larry Bartlett and I am a new subscriber. I contracted Parkinsens about three years ago and it seems to be progressing faster then I thought it would. I am a accountant by profession and the disease has effected my right side and I happen to be right handed so it makes it difficult for me to write or do anything with my right hand. The docter and my employer suggested I go on disability as it is now effecting my speech and short term memory. My problem is this, my employer wants me to cut back to 4 hrs aday(my docter agrees) at half salary, I have very little savings, and no retirement benefits from my employer and I am 55 years old. I live in California and think I can get some disibility benefits while still working part time but for the long term my only hope is Social Security Disability but I understand you can not have any income to get approved and the process takes a long time, which at this point I do not have a lot of (income wise) Has anyone experienced this and do you have any advise. Thank you. Larry Bartlett [log in to unmask]
