Professional advice and support

In the bottom line, Parkinson's patients have a variety of options for receiving assistance that may be expressed in considerable amounts of money every month.

A paid consultant is not always necessary. Sometimes it's a simple procedure that you can do yourself, like filling out a simple form. Experience shows that new patients tend to hire a consultant in the first stages, and later manage on their own. If you still decide to take a paid consultant, you will meet with several consultants and get price quotes from them, ask for names of recommenders and negotiate with the consultants. The price is not low: between 15% and 25% of the sums of money received or a one-time amount equal to about 12 months of a monthly allowance in most cases, plus VAT.
