Answers
Yes, that is correct. According to the ADA a person with a disability is kept from completing one or more major life activities. These activities are defined under the hub of physical as well as mental and social activities. Furthermore, depending on your disability and how it affects one or more major life activities, there are certain statutes and limitations that legally affect acceptance of your condition as an eligible disability. A good Disability attorney can help analyze your disability, how it affects your life, and ensure you are awarded benefits fairly.
Talk to a Social Security Disability Lawyer to find out what evidence you will need to build your case and successfully get benefit payments.
Good luck.
