Dealing with HD means having to jump through a lot of legal hoops to get the support that you need. Today on the HOPES Podcast, we feature special guest Allison Bartlett, Esq., a licensed disability attorney who currently serves as the manager of disability programs at the Huntington’s Disease Society for America (HDSA). Allison walks us through disability, both private and public, long-term care insurance, health insurance, and how someone with HD and their loved ones might approach the process of accessing those benefits. It’s very complex, and she’s the expert! Listen in to hear what she wants to share with the HD community about this topic.
