What's new at the Parkinson's Action Network (PAN)?

PAN has successfully completed a project with social security to enhance the understanding and definition of PD as it relates to the assessment for work related disability payments. The social security criteria for PD was outdated and not reflective of current research and understanding of the disease. It has been brought up to date and social security now has new guidelines. And, there is a form that you can download and complete, and share with your doctor, that will help Social Security and your health care team track and report your PD symptoms for the disability assessment process. In fact, download a few forms and take them to your doctors the next time you go, they may have other patients that might be interested.

On June 24th PAN will host an interactive webcast called Emerging Therapies, From Microscope to Marketplace, the time is 2:00pm - 4:30pm. See the website for additional details.
