However, for what it's worth I was retired as "totally and permanently disabled" on the grounds that my PD mixed with arthritis rendered me unable to do the job for which I was employed (Secretary) and trained. This was granted after my company doctor plus my GP and my neurologist each putting this opinion in writing to the insurance provider for my company's superannuation fund. As my PD is on left side only I am quite unco-ordinated which made the above more obvious than if I had just slowed down. Dawn. [log in to unmask]
