Yes. A person may have a handicap, meaning one of several things. It may mean that he or she is handicapped, where the word refers to the specific disability the person suffers. It may also mean a disadvantage given to a superior competitor in order to level the playing field. For example, a 10-goal handicap may be required for an amateur hockey team to compete with a professional team.

Handicapped. "He was handicapped, but the operation allowed him to walk again". It's confusing because "handicapped" can be used in the present tense as well. "He is handicapped".
