What you do not see does not mean the person is disabled. People with serious back injuries, but not enough to be in a wheelchair for life, can't do certain jobs anymore.

My dad was declared disabled because he had knee replacement surgeries on both knees. Yes, he still have issues falling at times. But, when he goes to the store he can park in the Handicapped Parking spaces.

I was born with a deformed inner ear. Iy does caused me to have infections that causes balance issues.

Like I said, not everything you see does not mean there is issues that you can not see.

And just because you have an ear issue that causes balance problems from time to time doesnt mean you dont work.

I have a spinal cord disease. My doctor told me that my spinal cord shows that I looks like a 70 year old man. It only appears in Asian or Native American males at young age. Since I am 1/16th Cherokee Indian, it seems that it is heredity.

As for my dad? He in in his 70s, so he is at the age of not able to work.
