can i ask you why any attorney wouldn't have had me as standard practice review my med records? TIA
OP-

You can request a record of your office visits directly from the doctor's office to show visits not listed by your insurance. Regardless, you should be providing medical records for all office visits. If something is missing in documentation but the physician knows your condition and history, you could request they write a letter of summary key points needed by Social Security.

Also, pharmacies are required to keep records of all prescriptions. If any of them were prescribed in a manner to save cost, document how or ask your doc to, for your attorney and Social Security.

Social Security Disability for Parkinson's disease is initially based on the following criteria. Whenever it is documented you meet any of the specific conditions is when the Social Security Administration is legally required to consider your disability. A good attorney will document when and where this is initially in your medical records.

Reference: http://www.ssa.gov/disability/profes...dult.htm#11_06

11.06 Parkinsonian syndrome with the following signs: Significant rigidity, bradykinesia, or tremor in two extremities, which, singly or in combination, result in sustained disturbance of gross and dexterous movements, or gait and station.

You can also be consider disabled prior to the date of meeting the above criteria, if you have other severe functional loses before then like the inability to ambulate effectively and loss of gross and fine motor skills that prevent you from doing substantial gainful work.

In the following, the first criteria is that you are no longer doing substantial gainful work. I suggest you read the following to get a sense of what is required.

I hope this helps.
