at the insistence of my Neuro to confirm the clinical diagnosis.

He said it would be needed to support any dealings with employers/insurance companies, etc to confirm the PD dx. I was 40 years old at dx and my age might present problems without a supporting scan.

I had the scan, it was positive and I have not (to date), had any problems over the dx with employers/insurance companies, etc.

Hope this helps,
Neil.
