Currently Parkinson's itself isn't presumptive for deset storm illness. many, including the IOM (institutes of medicine) feel that ALS, Parkinsons and MS should be presuptive instead of the general assumptions of neurolgic or neuromuscular under the other symptoms for Undiagnosed Illnesses. I would read and study 38 CFR 3.317 to begin with and then can go from there. Let me know if you have any other questions I might be able to answer.
