Default To those who have Parkinsons disease...
I realize that this is only going to help a very few but the State of Indiana has passed legislation that declares that Parkinsons disease in an emergency responder (firefighter, EMT, Police officer) is to be presumed as job related for disability benefits. HUGE!!!

That sounds like it would apply to a worker's comp claim or a employer disability pension, but would not change the definition of disability for a Social Security claim.
