Living with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) presents unique challenges as this rare neurological disorder affects visual processing and cognitive abilities. The good news? PCA qualifies for the Social Security Administration's Compassionate Allowance program, allowing you to start disability benefits much faster than the standard process.
