SSDI stands for Social Security Disability Insurance
A system of federally provided payments to eligible workers (and, in some cases, their families) when they are unable to continue working because of a disability. Benefits begin with the sixth full month of disability and continue until the individual is capable of substantial gainful activity.

 

As defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO), a disability (resulting from an impairment) is a restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. Disability refers to the temporary or long-term reduction of a person's capacity to function.

Living with a disability in Wyoming is tough. Doing simple tasks like getting out of bed, or taking your children to school can be painful and take extra amounts of time to do. But when an employer or the government fails to take the necessary steps of following the Americans with Disabilities Act, you might not be able to take care of your business. That's where a Wyoming disability lawyer can help.

In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed to prohibit any kind of disability discrimination in work environments. This legislature has helped thousands of Americans living with disability to obtain employment and assist those with disabilities have access to the same services as people without disabilities.

Topics and Issues related to Wyoming Disability include:

  • Worker's Compensation
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Social Security
  • Disability Benefits
  • OSHA
  • Temporary Disability

Our Wyoming disability lawyers can file your claim in court and sue the government to make sure they provide all disabled people with the proper access to all its buildings and services. Disability lawsuits can also force private businesses to comply with all ADA requirements.

With the help of a Wyoming disability lawyer or a Wyoming social security lawyer, you might be able to help make your life a little easier.

Janeal Lee found her title of Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin rescinded when the pageant's organizers decided that she isn't disabled enough. Lee has muscular dystrophy and primarily uses a scooter to get around, but she is able to stand. Commentator Lennard Davis says the pageant's decision is wrong, and that definitions of disability need to become less stereotypical.
