How to Secure Parkinson’s Disability Benefits: Essential Steps

Tucker Disability Law | April 26, 2024

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that often impairs movement, significantly affecting one’s ability to work. Despite the challenges it poses, securing long-term disability benefits can be a complex process, where simply having a diagnosis of Parkinson’s is not sufficient.

Understanding Your Condition and Your Rights

Parkinson’s disease can make daily tasks and job responsibilities nearly impossible. This is why proving that your condition severely limits your work capabilities is crucial to your disability claim. At Tucker Disability Law, we emphasize the importance of meticulously documenting how Parkinson’s affects your work life.

Gather Strong Evidence to Secure Parkinson’s Disability Benefits

To strengthen your claim for Parkinson’s disability benefits, you must collect comprehensive evidence of how the disease impacts your professional and personal activities. We recommend:

  • Maintaining a Daily Journal: Documenting your daily experiences and struggles provides concrete examples of how Parkinson’s limits your abilities. Our tailored journal can guide you in noting down critical details about your symptoms and their effects on your job performance.
  • Regular Medical Consultations: Consistent appointments with your movement disorder specialist and primary care doctor are essential. These medical records form the backbone of your claim by illustrating the ongoing impact and progression of your condition.
  • Educating Friends and Family: Informing those close to you about the specifics of your condition ensures they understand your limitations. Their observations can be pivotal in substantiating your claim.
  • Utilizing a Customized Attending Physician Statement: Standard forms from insurance companies often fail to capture the unique challenges posed by Parkinson’s. Our customized forms are designed to highlight the relevant aspects of your specific condition, making it easier for your doctor to provide the necessary details for your claim.

Facing Insurance Challenges to a Parkinson’s Disability Benefits Claim

Navigating through the insurance system can be daunting. Insurance companies might use tactics that complicate the claim process, particularly with generic forms that do not address specific symptoms or challenges of Parkinson’s disease.
