Parkinson's disease Work-Related Disability Assessment Form
The Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) is pleased to announce the Parkinson's disease Work-Related Disability Assessment Form. The form is available for download here.
It has been brought to PAN's attention that people with Parkinson's may experience trouble seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits due to inadequate documentation of symptoms in their medical record. This form may be helpful to Social Security reviewers during the SSDI/SSI application process. It was created with the hope that it will be used by both clinicians and patients as a way to document and track a person's symptoms with particular focus on the symptoms that are most likely to interfere with one's ability to work.
The Parkinson's disease Work-Related Disability Assessment form is designed to supplement a patient's medical record and is not a Social Security Administration form or application.
