Can you claim disability allowance for being a alcoholic?

Good question. Under the ADA Americans With Disabilities Act), alcoholism is covered as a disease, but the behavior of alcoholism isn't protected under the provision. So, if you have debilitating effects from past alcoholism, you may be eligible; however, if you can't work due to a continued behavioral abuse of alcohol, then my guess is you wouldn't be eligible. I'd suggest contacting your local Social Security office.To complicate the matter, the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hold that alcoholism is a disease and many physicians reject the disease theory of the condition.

How does the Americans with disabilities act help citizens with disabilities?

The Americans with Disabilities Act helps U.S. citizens with disabilities by serving as a cornerstone for their current and future civil rights on behalf of Americans with Disabilities. While 504 was instrumental in establishing a national focus on people with disabilities, and many legal remedies, the ADA established the civil rights of people with disabilities in written form, for all to see and clearly understand as the law of the land. It paved the way to barring employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and all other forms of discrimination against Americans with disabilities - even beyond the reach of what was covered under Section 504 of the National Rehab Act. Perhaps it's truest strength is that it cannot be reversed, only strengthened, but time alone will finally determine that. sinqle baybee
