My brother who is 62 years of age has recently been diagnosed with Benson Syndrome which is a form of Alzheimers. this disease is relatively new and there is not much info out there. He has been an accountant for the last 30 years and because of this disease has been forced to retire early since he doesn't remember anything about accounting. Is there anyone out there that can share some light on this, anyone else with this disease? any gov. help available? His insurance will not cover his meds and a form of experimental laser treatments, and he doesn't have enough to cover both, please help me help him.

Maybe you should post this question in "Questions For The Care Consultant"? They answer pretty quickly, usually within a day.

Please contact your local Alz assn for information and support!

I have not heard of Benson Syndrome. Did you Google this or try Yahoo? Or Web MD or discovery health?
Good luck!

Peace and Hope,


Lisa
