Vascular Parkinsonism {MSÁ)

this could see me losing my licence
hopefully I can keep hold of it til Xmas

Are you diabetic??

Scary time ahead, hopefully you can get xmas out of the way.

There is help around, maybe the PDF can help or other similar charities, plus any insurance you have??

Vascular is to do with the veins.

Yep and struggling with it

Unlucky dude, best of British with it.

As Waynedl says try the PDF we may well be able to help with financial problems or with advice on other practical matters . All infomation we are given is strictly confidential.

I am not a doctor but will half an aspirin daily help out.

I sent the form off as per requested
had a letter this week saying there going to write
to my consultant but I can drive until such time they say I cant.

Meantime the docs kept me on the sick for another 28 days
anyways I am on agency so not much work anyhow,

talking of which agency wont process sick pay
I have to do it through Job Centre

That is good news.

Sorry to say this but you probally already know. But dvla will revoke licence as its progressive. That said has it affected your walking in anyway yet.

yes and my balance.
went base over apex the other night
I blamed it on darkness and uneven path lol

just a matter of trying to keep ahead of the
system and not getting bogged down in
stuff I cant sort, long term I will have to move to
more suitable accommodation

number one priority getting benefit money started
but no panic for a month

Take my advice or leave it but i would do the following in order.

  1. Claim dla/pip even if you only get low award once you are on it. It will only increase as what you got is progressive also it is indefinate award and that is thier guidelines.
  2. If you get awarded dla/pip at middle or high care get someone to claim carers allowance.
    3.As soon as sick pay finishes or before claim esa not unemployment or income support.
  3. If you private rent or council/housing tennant claim housing/council tax.

Only know this cos i got 2 disabled sons. Can put a link up for DWP medical az conditions which gives a breakdown of what parkinsons disease suffers should get.

please do put a link up.
was talking to ex no.2 she said I should have claimed sooner lol
I didn’t think I was going to have this diagnosis thought it was diabetes
not controlled well enough

Hope this works, when you go on it you look on the left of the page and it will say care and mobility, sources of evidence & prognosis.
Best of luck to you.

You should also seek help from your local WRO (welfare rights officer) not the citizens advice beureau, if their is a local parkinsons support group they will know where to contact them, when they come out to you they will help fill all forms out on your behalf.
