Phillipa,
Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to this thread.

> Disability and welfare are two different programs. Disability is for injury or inability to work to either to physical or mental illness. And that is determined by often times attorneys being retained and all medical records. Welfare is those that just do not work. Don't contribute to the system. Disability is also subject to taxing and amount a person receives is based on their total income earned over the years and at retirement converts to medicaire which is the same in a way as Disability. Now this is my understanding. Which leaves a lot to be desired. And for those on Disability most would do anything to be able to work and be productive. It's a loss of identity and income if deemed unable to work. I feel for those on Disability. Just my interpretation again. Phillipa
