Paraquat exposure victims with Parkinson's disease might receive $3,345 per month
Considering that Parkinson's disease is one of the health conditions that comprises a neurological disability list, it is considered a disability by the Social Security Administration. If a person has Parkinson's disease and they are not able to work for at least one year or longer because of their diagnosis, they may be able to qualify for Social Security disability benefits and be seen as disabled by the Social Security Administration.
To qualify for disability, the Social Security Administration will examine all of the medical records and documentation to see if they closely match the listing for Parkinson's disease in the Blue Book. The person seeking disability benefits from the Social Security Administration must also meet the following eligibility criteria:
- inability to work because of the disease
- difficulty performing daily tasks
- inability to balance when walking
- inability to stand up from a seated position
- trouble understanding and remembering information
- the medication they take is ineffective
Parkinson's disease is a health condition that can qualify a person for Social Security Disability benefits as long as specific diagnostic criteria are met and documented, which include rigidity, tremor in two extremities causing ongoing problems with movement, and inability to stand. Since there is no single test that can provide a definitive diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, the diagnosis will be based on a thorough evaluation of the symptoms and a neurological examination. If you were exposed to paraquat and developed Parkinson's disease, you should get in touch with our attorneys, who specialize in toxic exposure, as you might also be entitled to compensation from the companies whose herbicides you used or came in contact with.
