An individual is typically considered disabled if they have a physical or mental impairment that significantly limits one or more major life activities, such as walking, seeing, hearing, or working. This definition may vary depending on legal frameworks, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the U.S., which outlines specific criteria for determining disability. Additionally, a disability can be permanent or temporary and may result from a variety of conditions, including chronic illnesses, injuries, or developmental disorders.

People who cannot understand anything we say may be considered 80% or more disabled.It all depends on how much individual thinking the person can do by himself.

Can a judge force a disabled individual to work?

Not physically, but he can stop your benefits if you can not prove in court you are actually so disabled you can not work. Just because you are too disabled to do one type of work does not mean you can't do another. Judges do not stop benefits. The agency that issues the benefits decides whether the individual is still disabled. Judges can issue orders to withhold child support from disability income.
