Social Security Disability Insurance --lawyer?
 
Recently put in an application for SSDI and was rejected, which I understand is a very common outcome. Now I need to get a lawyer to appeal the decision. If anyone knows of a good attorney in the NYC area who specializes in this issue and has a record of success with PD patients, I would appreciate a referral.

I noticed on the site of a big firm that under the heading "neurological disorders," PD is not listed. http://www.binderandbinder.com/SSD-SSI-and-Your-Pain/Neurological-Disorders.shtml

Also, for anyone else out there who is going through this, here is a link to a form developed by PAN:

All suggestions, advice will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Kathleen
