To: Donald R. Smith I am a Parkinsonian who is on SSA disability because my condition includes progressive "cognitive deficits" i.e. inability to peform math or learn software, order or evaluate things, sort items or make judgements. They refer to these as the "Managerial skills." If your wife has anything like these symptoms, she would probably be aproved. They used to say that PD did not affect the cognitive realm: they were wrong. Current research bears this out. Good luck.
