Disability Issues

The US Social Security Administration ("SSA"), which administers Social Security disability benefits ("SSDI") will only recognize a same-sex marriage in states where it is valid under state law.

Consequently, although your marriage in California will affect eligibility for SSDI in California, it will not currently affect eligibility for SSDI in Texas. However, Texas' ban on same-sex marriage has been declared unconstitutional in federal court and the matter is on appeal. So, if the lower court's ruling is upheld, your marriage will suddenly become valid in Texas and your continued eligibility for SSDI benefits will be affected.

Note that same-sex marriages currently DO affect federal tax filing status in all 50 states and abroad.

because their muscles aren't being used to support the weight of their body by walking or running, these muscles atrophy and the bones lose density. this causes them to generally weaken

A wheelchair ramp is an example of the simple machines known as inclined planes.

Nothing instrinsically is wrong with an electric wheelchair. For many, electric wheelchairs are one of few options available as a mobility aid - that is, some people cannot move around to perform daily tasks without one.

However, there are some disadvantages that electric wheelchairs have in comparison to normal wheelchairs. The three biggest drawbacks to electric wheelchairs in such a comparison are: they require batteries, they do not provide any exercise to the person in the wheelchairs, and they are more dangerous (to the rider and to others) than a normal wheelchair.

Batteries
Electric wheelchairs, unlike regular wheelchairs, must be charged - often on a daily basis. If left uncharged, the electric mobility wheelchair can become useless and, at worst, a cumbersome object to move back to its charger.

Most power chairs have a cord for recharging and it is easy to plug in to the wall. Usually, if charged every night, power chairs will last all day. It is important to get in the routine of charging your scooter nightly.

Lack of Exercise
One large benefit of wheelchairs is that they are human-powered. The person in the wheelchair generally gets an upper-body exercise when using a regular wheelchair. Unfortunately, people in electric wheelchairs do not get the same benefit of built-in exercise.

If you require use of an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, talk to your doctor about how you can stay fit.

Danger
Power wheelchairs have very powerful motors, often powerful enough to push around full-sized furniture and appliances. The electronic controls may get stuck or otherwise malfunction, and the user could lose control. Most wheelchairs are powerful enough to run over a person or to seriously injure a person pinned between the wheelchair and object. Furthermore, malfunctions and other accidents (from tipping over or otherwise falling out of the seat) could leave the wheelchair user on the ground with no way to get up.

Depending on the model of your scooter, different dangers may exist. See the link below for "Power Wheelchairs and User Safety" below.

Yes he is, but maybe your thinking of harry clearwater, charlies best friend, he isn't in a wheelchair, only billy is.

Place the back of the person's wheelchair against the wall, locking the brakes. Kneel down in front of the person and using the heel of your hand, push inward and upward just above the belly button. If this fails and the person becomes unconscious, the person now needs CPR

Conjoined twins are two individual people, regardless of their medical situation. So it follows that each person would have the same rights and responsibilities as any other person. That includes his or her own social security number.

Diabetes is not a disease that's presumed to be disabling. You would have to show that the symptoms cannot be controlled by recognized drugs/procedures and that they make it impossible for you to perofrm any job for which you would be qualified based on your age, education, and work history.

Yes. You must petition your local post office for a hardship delivery.

I'm not deaf, but I work at a school in Mexico teaching sign language. Most of my students were born deaf, or lost their hearing at a very young age. The way we teach them here is by starting with simple concrete objects. You point at a tree, then show them the sign for tree. Or you point at the color red and show them the sign for the word red. Once they start understanding that everything has a sign, they'll start asking you about signs. After awhile you teach them the alphabet and numbers, and go from there.

scoliosis is a disability because it impares your ability in certain postures, also causes stress when carrying shopping and sleeping etc.

From Big Brother yes !

If either your employer bought the disability policy, or you purchased it with PRE-tax money (thru payroll deduction perhaps), then I believe disability benefits are taxable at ordinary income tax rates. If it was purchased with after tax money, usually not taxable. A good rule of thumb is: If YOU haven't paid taxes on the premiums, you're going to pay taxes on the benefits. If you mean "pension payments" when you say "retirement checks," then yes. It is taxed like ordinary income.

Badly, from what I hear. They are usually outcast and forgotten about, Asians don't see people with disabilities as potential functioning members of society. It's taboo to talk about because only the 'white man' can be this much of a prick.

I'm curious to find out if using non-beaking hyphens in all this situations would be correct or not.

That really depends on a lot of different factors. The first things to consider would be, is the person in question going to be a driver, a passenger, or both? You must consider what it is that is currently inhibiting this person from driving an automobile in the first place. For example, there are systems out there which can accommodate a wide variety needs based on the individual. Anything from wheelchair lifts, and extended pedals, to hand controlled gas and brake features. For more information, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles and ask them to direct you to a local installer who designs and builds handicap accessible vehicles. Every state also offers a dedicated handicap driver training program which is designed to help people with a disability in the safe operation of their vehicles.

it depends, how bad is the asthma? the eneral rule for receiving ssd (social security disability) benefits is that the illness or disease is what stops you from being able to work.

a taxpayer can file financial disability if they meet certain conditions (IRC §6511(h). One of those conditions requires the taxpayer be mentally or physically impaired that they are unable to manage their financial affairs. If the taxpayer meets all of the requirements, the taxpayer may file a refund after the 3 year period of limitations. Internal Revenue Code §6511(h).

The IRS cannot release any tax related information except for very limited circumstances IRC §6103. The exceptions include a taxpayer requesting such disclosure (for a mortgage, in a divorce) or a court may require info (divorce, tax court, or law inforcement). An employer or a credit agency may not request such info and get it unless they meet an exception. Unlawfull disclosure by the IRS to an unauthorized party is punishable by 5 years and $10,000 fine (IRC §6103.

it is very very unlikeyly the info will every be available to an employer. vert unlikely. But a bitter ex spouse who got the info during a divorce could give it to an employer.

You will use your medicare to pay for the medical costs of pregnancy.
