   The Social Security Handbook, in Chapter 6, paragraph 607, states
   that "medical evidence alone may establish that a person ... is
   disabled where it establishes the presence of an impairment
   included in the Listing of Impairments ... provided that other
   evidence does not show the person to be engaged in substantial
   gainful activity. ...  The Listing of Impairments is set out in
   SSA regulations and used by SSA to determine a disabling level of
   impairment. This Listing contains examples of common impairments
   for each of the major body systems which are deemed to be of such
   severity as to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity ... "

   Does anyone know whether Parkinson's disease is on the list?
   Is the list accessible on-line?  Where?
