Hello, my husband has been newly diagnosed with Parkinson's. We are learning a new way of life and coming to terms with his diagnoses. He is finding it difficult to get his head around not being able to do his job and knowing that he will not be able to work his normal.
Having to claim benefits, especially PIP, is particularly difficult for him. I have found the best course of action is to let him sort it out in his own head, giving him space, and his mood lifts after a while.
Myself, I am patient and don't try to finish his sentence for him. I suffer from depression and a personality disorder, which at the moment is under control.
