| | Disability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term "disability", as it is applied to humans, refers to any condition that impedes the completion of daily tasks using traditional methods. | | | People who are Deaf in particular may see themselves as members of a specific community, properly called the Deaf culture, and so will reject efforts designed to distance them from the central fact of their identity. | | | An individual thus affected was seen as being a “patient” subject either to cure or to ongoing medical care. |

| | For the state agency to decide that you are disabled, your medical condition must significantly limit your ability to do basic work activities—such as walking, sitting and remembering—for at least one year. | | | It evaluates your medical condition, your age, education, past work experience and any skills you may have that could be used to do other work. | | | If you are not working, or your monthly earnings average the current amount or less, the state agency then looks at your medical condition. |

| | In 2000, the Commission on Human Rights asked the High Commissioner, in cooperation with the Special Rapporteur on Disability of the Commission for Social Development, “to examine measures to strengthen the protection and monitoring of the human rights of persons with disabilities”. | | | A dramatic shift in perspective has been taking place over the past two decades, and persons with disabilities are increasingly viewed as holders of rights. | | | While their living conditions vary, they are united in one common experience – being exposed to various forms of discrimination and social exclusion. |

| | Disability Insurance protects your income |
| | Disability is considered either "Own Occupation," which is the inability to perform the duties of your own specific occupation, or "Any Occupation," which is the inability to perform the duties of any job for which your education and training qualify you. | | | The benefit period, which is how long you receive monthly benefits, can range from six months to the rest of your life, depending on what your company offers and the choices you make. | | | Most employers are required to provide this coverage, but it only pays if your disability is job-related, which means you're out of luck when it comes to sickness or off-the-job injuries. |
