Does anyone know someone that we can contact about a SS case that is stuck in limbo? My brother is a disabled little person (26 different bone disorders in one). He tries to work as much as he can, but it is really hard for him (he works 16-20 hours per week) and he can't afford to do anything. My dad has been helping him out, but he was just injured and can no longer work.

He applied for social security 2 years ago, and hasn't even been asigned a caseworker yet. We have tried talking to a lawyer, but he say that since he has not been denied yet that there is nothing they can do. How can we make the government either approve or deny him ASAP. He calls the SS office at least one a week, and they keep saying it is still in processing.

We have heard rumors that the government is doing this to many people right now, basically hoping for them to die so that they don't have to pay. I am not sure as to the validity of that, but I just want him to get what he should by law.

or accommodations for your disability? & then they call your request for necessary accommodations INVALID excuses? That really hurts my feelings. I think that's prejudice. That's like trying to force a paralyzed person to walk & when they say they can't, people say they're making excuses. Same goes for mental illness. If you can't concentrate on a test & fail because of depression, people just call you lazy, but you're not.

A friend and I went to an all you can eat restuarant to have dinner. He can be a little picky about his surroundings. He does not like to eat beside families with small children and he does not like eating near loud teenagers. (I can somewhat understand). When we sat to eat we moved from one table near small children (ages 1 and three) to another table.

A family sat beside us with a "mentally challenged" daughter. She looked like she was 10 years old and my friend wanted to move again b/c he said looking at her made his stomach turn. At this point, I drew the line. I told him that his behavior was "snooty," childish, cruel and unnecessary. He was angry at me b/c he said that I was being rude for not respecting his wishes and I was trying be controlling. To make along story short, we ended up moving b/c the argument became a little heated and the family was beginning to notice.

QUESTION FOR YOU
Was I wrong for taking up for the family instead of moving right away!

Why do people like U keep on getting in my way of what I'm trying to achieve for myself,like having a pretty girlfriend,to have normal hobbies,to see the negative more positively. Well, what if do want to be able to get the things that I want for myself. Or U must have a much more benign attitude towards the human condition than I and a lot of other people. It's actually people like U who keep me from living the life that I want. That I have to be isolated from others and settle for a lot less.why can't U just let me be,because no matter how much U try to slice and dice it,being a disabled person is by far the hardest thing for someone to go though. i have a right to live a normal,more fullfiling life. And I don't wanted to be limited in anyway at all.can U at least try to see where I'm coming from?

My girlfriend who is disabled thinks I should be able to collect money from the goverment because I am dyslexic. She tells me it is a disability and I can collect money for it. She thinks I should because I am having trouble finding work because of my dyslexia.

I also am hard of hearing and may become deaf one day. She says I could collect disability for that too, that I don't have to be deaf that hard of hearing would suffice. She also told me I might be able to get a free videophone because I am hard of hearing, they normally cost $200.

I have noticed people in wheelchairs get pissed if you try to help them, and pissed off if you don't.

What gives? Is there a small % of people in wheelchairs who are mad at their situation or the world?

The first seat beside the doors of the MRT or LRT have signs that the seat is for the "disabled, pregnant, moms with kids or older folk". I use these trains to travel around Metro Manila. I am disabled, use a cane and prosthetic leg, but wear walking shorts or a skirt so people can spot my disability. About 80% of the time, no one gives me a seat unless I ask for it (I do ask nicely) - some of those asked sigh heavily or act like they need a medal pinned to them plus a brass band parade for granting a huge favor.

Those who do give me a seat, right away, without my asking are older men or ladies, not the younger generation. How does one help the younger generation of Pinoys remember their manners when we desperatly need to sit in trains?

Severely disabled people sometimes struggle to find a parking place which I think is unfair them due to inconsiderate drivers. What are your views regarding this?

The term normal is inaccurate, because it implies that people with disabilities aren't normal or that they are less than human. They are not "broken" and they do not need to become "normalized." What is normal for one person may not be normal for another. There really is no such thing as normal.

If you are referring to people without disabiltites, please use the term "typical."
