Disability Issues

The answer is: It depends. It depends on how disabled you have become, due to arthritis. You will have to have medical documentation to prove that you have become so disabled that you cannot work any longer. There is a long process of written documentation and face-to-face interview w/Social Security to go through and an even longer wait time to determine if you've been found eligible for benefits. BUT, it is worth the effort if you have a legitimate disability; and even if you are denied benefits the first time, do challenge their findings. For many people, they are automatically denied in the first round - it's a given for many many people. So immediately challenge and argue your case. In many instances, the 2nd time you can be accepted. I hope this proves helpful. Also, as you probably know, you can either call your local Social Security office or go to their website to ask/find specific questions. Good luck.

While on a mission, Corporal Jake Sully suffered a spinal injury which paralyzed him from the waist down. Although the injury was operable and correctable, he lacked the funds for the procedure and was confined to a wheelchair.

Children's guitars come in many sizes, however it is more practical to give a child a guitar that will be small enough and light enough to play with. The recommended size is between 1/2 and a 1/4 the size of a regular guitar.

Rick was Terry's boyfriend until he violently beat her, then he went to far and put her in a coma. So then months later he apoligized, but nobody still wasn't pleased. Then one day he was in a competition with Toby, Emma, and Jimmy. They won the competition. Then there was a final round Rick had to answer questions. He got one wrong and the others right. Then Jay's Girlfriend, Alex had set up a booby trap. To spill Feathers and I'm not sure if it was mustard or yellow paint, but that was it. Rick held the trophy in his hand and the feathers and yellow stuff spilled. Rick was humiliated. He ran home. And went into his dad's office. He went into a top drawer. And pulled out a case. ( big enough to hold a gun ) Then he put it into a blue backpack. He went back to school. And went to Paige. She said she was sorry. Then he went to the bathroom. Where he was going to wash up. Then he heard Jay and Spinner ( Gavin ) enter. They were talking when they saw that Rick was there. So Jay started to make up a conversation. They made it look like Jimmy had set up that " sceme " and they thought that Rick would rat out Jimmy. They were wrong. They left and Rick came out of the stall he was hiding in. He was caring the blue backpack and and left the bathroom. He walked down the hall to Jimmy's locker, and of course he was there. He unzipped the backpack just a little, to have enough room to pull the gun out. He talked to Jimmy for a second. Then he pulled out the gun. Jimmy stood still then backed up and ran. Rick pulled the trigger and shot Jimmy in the lower back close enough to the spine. Ppl

screamed and Craig walked to the scene and freaked. Rick walked away. And eventually he was going to kill Emma. He found her in the hall along with Toby and Sean. He held up the gun, then Sean walked forward to him and they both tackled for the gun. It was Sean that got the gun but the trigger went off while they tackled and Rick fell to the ground while Sean was covered in warm human blood. Rick was dead.

The first school for the Deaf was founded by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet wanted to find a way to teach deaf children. His neighbor Mason Gogswell had a deaf daughter, Alice, and Gogswell did not want her locked away in a mental institution, as was common practice during those times. Thomas left the U.S. in search of a way to educate deaf people, in 1816, while in England seeking their method of educating the deaf he attended a deaf-mute show which featured it's star pupil: Laurent Clerc, a brilliant deaf student from France. Gallaudet convinced Clerc to come to the U.S. and help set up a school and hence in 1817 the first school for the Deaf opened in Hartford Connecticut.

Autism is a spectrum disorder. A few people on the extreme end of the autism scale qualify for SSDI or other governmental programs. The great majority of children or adults with autism spectrum disorder do not receive any support.

(in the US) You are probably referring to the "Americans with Disabilities Act" of 1990 [ADA], Additional changes were made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-325), which became effective on January 1, 2009. The ADA was originally enacted in public law format and later rearranged and published in the United States Code. Titles I, II, III, and V of the original law are codified in Title 42, chapter 126, of the United States Code beginning at section 12101. Title IV of the original law is codified in Title 47, chapter 5, of the United States Code.

Yes, there are some laws that restrict discrimination AGAINST disableds.

People are not "hired under" the ADA. The ADA merely prohibits discrimination by employers against covered individuals and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for covered employees.

A covered individual can be fired as long as the employer's action did not discriminate against the employee on the basis of his or her disability. For example, any employee, covered or not, can be terminated for cause.

Legislation passed in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. Under this Act, discrimination against a disabled person is illegal in employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications and government activities.

Family members can be paid for caring for their handicapped relatives. Respite care is also available, to allow the caretaker a week or a few days off. Check with local health care or services agencies.

While on social security disability if sentenced to a mental facility can you still collect

SSA is part of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

yes. Social Securuty disability is based upon the fact that a person cannot work due to a disability. The amount the person collects from Social Security will be based upon their prior work history: how long they worked and at what pay.

You can use your SSDI (Social Security Disability) payments any way you want

such as for paying a rent or mortgage, food, clothes, and also a car. It would simply be up to you to budget the amount you get with your expenses.

Normally you will not get lump sums unless there is a good reason. Keep in mind your Medicare coverage, unless the ObamaCare has changed this, wont even start untill you have been on the SSDI for two years. You will still have some expenses with Medicare for example if you pay for Medicare B (which most people will definitely need), Medicare B will only pay 80 percent. So you will be left paying the 20 percent unless you also have your state medicaid in which case usually the medicaid will pick most or all of it up. You will need to budget carefully as to where you live, how expensive your house or apartment is, your utilities, your food, your clothing, etc as well as a car or other type of transportation. Something to keep in mind: if you qualify for your state's medicaid (normally an income question) you may be eligible for transportation, however that transportation will probably be limited to a certain amount of times a month and will only as far as I know, be good to get to your doctor appointments. If you cannot walk to work and elsewhere or take a bus,

or a taxi, you will probably need a car.. You are not limited to how you spend your check but you do have to budget and use wisdom so you won't find yourself in a pickle.

A simple answer is: "Yes". However, I have a sense there is more to it. If you are asking more specifically can they work and still receive the benefits then the correct answer is: "It depends".

If you want to know more, a good place to start is to look at how your Disability Income Insurance plan or policy is written. It may have riders that provide for partial benefits after the insured returned to work.

For example, with some companies an insured could choose a partial disability benefit rider. Here is what that rider would do.

When the insured sustains a loss of income as a result of disability but can still perform some work at a lower pay, a partial benefit rider would pay a certain stipulated amount to mitigate the result of the income loss.

For instance, a brain surgeon who lost a finger cannot operate and get paid as a surgeon ever again. However, he or she could teach and receive some income from teaching. If they happen to have a disability policy in force that has a partial benefit rider that covers this situation they can receive the benefit.

You will recieve disability payment as long as your disability continues to qualify. Individual situations are periodically re-evaluated. Obviously, something like an amputation isn't going to change. A condition such as PTSD, however, may improve over time, and might recieve less compensation when re-evaluated.

Passing a new law to clarify that the act prohibits discrimination against Americans with a broad range of disabilities.

Social security payments may be made to dependent children until they are 18.

With the help of his family, staff, and the press, Roosevelt often tried to hide his disability from the public. Many photographs depict Roosevelt draped in a blanket or cloak, which hid his wheelchair. As president, Roosevelt supported research in the treatment of polio.

There are a number of potential monetary benefits that someone 52 may be eligible to collect under SSA either under their own earnings record or that of another significant party (parent, step parent, spouse, divorced spouse, deceased spouse). * A disabled person on his/her own earnings record (social security disability benefits) * A disabled widow(er) between the ages of 50 - 60 (at age 60 he/she could be potentially entitled as a widow(er)) on the deceased person's earnings record (disabled widow(er) benefits) * A disabled child (an adult child who was found to be disabled prior to age 22 and eligible on a parent's earnings record (Adult disabled child benefits) * A mother in care of a child entitled on the earnings record of the other spouse (the child would need to be under age 16 or disabled and need the care of the party applying for daily care) (Child in care benefits). Additional requirements and factors of entitlement should be directed to a SSA representative for a more detailed account of what your particular case involves. Earnings limits apply in all these cases - some would fall under the annual earnings test and the cases where a disability is the factor of entitlement substantial gainful activity applies. Those amounts are set annually. However, if you are referring to SSA retirement benefits - the earliest age to collect retirement benefits is 62. The earliest to collect widow(er) benefits - no disability alleged, minor and/or children in care - is age 60. Again, earnings limits apply. ** note this is not an all inclusive response - please check with SSA for additional factors of entitlement and how they may apply to you!
This is possible only if you become disabled; you cannot collect retirement income until age 62 or older.
