I think of residual disability as the idea that we are all different. It’s very easy to think of yourself in the same way as someone else. You have a disability, you have a problem, you have a way to help someone else, and you’re not the only one. That’s the residual disability at work. It can be hard to accept and even hard to believe.
The thought of being completely free from any restrictions is a powerful one, but it doesn’t always go down smoothly. Thats what residual disability is all about, a bit of confusion and uncertainty. A good example of this is the story of the disabled boy in DnD. He’s a teenager in a wheelchair who’s been told that he can run, but he doesn’t know how to run.
Residual disabilities tend to be more prevalent than one might think. Although we only found two cases of residual disabilities in our research, they do happen to be very rare. Some residual disabilities can be so severe that they can cause a person to become completely disoriented and unable to function. One such disability is the paralysis of the spinal cord, which affects the person’s ability to move or feel. One of our respondents wrote that she was born with a severe residual disability and now uses a wheelchair.
We found that only one person had ever had a residual disability, but it’s possible to have a residual disability that makes you completely incapacitated. The Paralyzed Person’s Act (PPA) passed in 1996, which requires that people with permanent paralysis be deemed to be totally and permanently disabled and receive assistance with daily living. It has since been expanded to include people with residual disabilities.
It sounds a bit far-fetched, but it gets us to the crux of what disability is. It’s only a small step to say, “Well, I’m a disabled person, so I’m actually not going to have any disability.” But it is a very big step to say, “I’ll be your disability.” As it turns out, the two are connected. Disabled people are also disabled for the same reasons people with a disability are disabled.
People with residual disabilities are still considered a disability. The question is whether or not the state is required to pay for the cost of the assistance that they receive. Even though this is a legal question, the law is still in flux, so it’s not surprising to find that this is an area of disagreement. The answer appears to be yes because the state pays for the cost of the assistance, but, no, not because the state is a disability-support agency.
This is one of those legal issues where one side says that the state is a disability-support agency, and the other side says the state is a disability-support agency. I think that this is a question that will have to wait until the Supreme Court comes on the scene.
The Court’s decision is expected to be issued in the next couple of months so it’s possible that the issue could be resolved in that time. It’s also possible that the state could decide that it isn’t a disability-support agency and go back to being a disability-support agency. It’s also possible that it will be decided that the state is a disability-support agency and the state could decide to be a disability-support agency on its own.
The Supreme Court may be coming on the scene. For instance, in the case of the Supreme Court’s ruling against the state of Alaska, the federal government is going to have to decide whether the state can be a disability-support agency of the state.
The federal government has been reluctant to get involved in this case, but the Supreme Court is going to decide this issue very soon. Also, I think that if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the state, there will be a lot more cases challenging the state’s ability to operate as a disability-support agency.
