I noticed that some people WITHOUT disabilities are angry about the fact that Disabled people have certain Disability privileges and have even spoken against certain Disability privileges. Some of the Disability privileges that I noticed that are source of anger with people WITHOUT disabilities are these:
1. Handicapped Parking
2. Being on Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
3. Disabled people being allowed to jump to the head of the line (not having to wait in line).
Other certain Disability privileges that I noticed that are a source of contention with people WITHOUT disabilities are these:
1. Using Handicapped bathrooms
2. Using Handicapped scooters in stores and elsewhere.
3. Reserved seats in public transport buses.
Why are certain people WITHOUT disabilities are angry about these Disability Privileges that I mentioned?
Why do certain people WITHOUT disabilities condemn the Disability Privileges that I mentioned?
Why are certain people WITHOUT disabilities against Disabled people having the Disability Privileges that I mentioned?
The reason why I am asking because I seen an posted response which is this: “I have seen non-disabled people being jealous of disabled people. That’s more common than you might think.”.
The only reasons I can come up with are these:
1. Parking in Handicapped Parking Spaces.
2. Getting SSI/SSDI which means that a PWD is not forced to work for a living.
3. Getting Medicaid/Medicare which means that a PWD get free health care.
4. Getting “free and/or discounted admission passes” at various places.
5. Getting a “free college education” due to being a PWD.
6. Using Manual Wheelchairs, Electric Power-Chairs, and Electric Power-Scooters which means a PWD does not walks but always rides in their mobility assistive device to where the PWD wants to go.
7. Getting PWD VIP Treatment at airports in terms of going straight through the security checkpoint in a wheelchair without having to wait in line and being allowed to board first on planes.
8. PWD Cut-In-Line Privileges at various places.
The question that I am asking is this:
Why would “Non-PWDs” (Outsiders) be jealous of “Disabled PWDs”?
Please give reasons.
Thank you.
*Both me and my only child are SSA Registered-Certified Disabled PWDs.* I am also a Registered Member of the Ectodermal Dysplasias International Registry.*

To Hihihi: To answer your question, the maximum Supplemental Security Income (SSI) monthly payment for 2010 is $674 for a qualified single PWD and $1,011 for a qualified married PWD that has an eligible spouse. If a PWD lives in a HUD subsidized apartment/housing or lives in a section 8 apartment/housing and get food stamps, or lives with a roommate, then the PWD’s financial situation will be fine. If a PWD is on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), the SSDI monthly payment will be bigger. The SSA financial rules for SSDI is better than the SSA financial rules for SSI.
To Susan: Where I live, I have 12 free doctor Medicaid visits per year, free inpatient hospital Medicaid coverage for 20 days, limited free Dental Medicaid services (1 free Dental Medicaid visit monthly), and 3 free monthly medicine Medicaid prescriptions. My only child gets SSI and SSDI including Medicaid and Medicare. My child’s Medicare premiums is being by the state. There was a poster on the PWD board that mentioned that they knew of a local college that had a program that would pay for tuition and books if the person was a legitimate Disabled PWD.
***CORRECTION: My child’s Medicare premiums is being paid by the state.***
To Hihihi: You are quite mistaken that PWDs do not get discounts. For example: The U.S. National Park System (NPS) does offer discounted fees for Disabled PWDs for park entry, camping, and various other activities. I received free admission to the local county fair because I have a permanent Handicapped Parking state permit for my automobile.
To James Alex: Where I live at, there is a free health clinic for low income people. I do have an automobile with a Scooter Powerlift attached so I can transport my electric scooter wherever I go. I have a permanent Handicapped Parking state permit. Originally I was not a wheelchair user when I got my Handicapped Parking state permit 22 years ago due to my deformed feet and deformed ankles. I am now forced to use mobility assistive devices. I have used PWD Cut-In-Line Privileges (Pulling PWD Rank) (Disabilities Perks) at airport security checkpoints and I have been forced to use PWD Cut-In-Line Privileges (Pulling PWD Rank) (Disabilities Perks) elsewhere at public places several times.
To James Alex: I have LEGITIMATE physical mobility issues which has FORCED me to buy a manual wheelchair and a 4-wheel electric scooter and a scooter power-lift for my motor vehicle. I have SEVERE chronic pain in the lower part of my body which has greatly affected my ability to walk and to stand for long periods of time. I also have deformed ankles and deformed feet. Due to LEGITIMATE physical mobility issues, my body IS FORCING me to use assisted mobility devices (wheelchair, power-chair, electric scooter). I have NO CHOICE but to use assisted mobility devices (wheelchair, power-chair, electric scooter). The reason why I call “PWD Cut-In-Line Privileges” the term “Pulling PWD Rank” is due to the fact that there are “Disability Perks” (Disabilities Accommodations) that are ONLY available to PWDs and NOT available to people without Disabilities. (For example: if a person is in the Army, there are privileges available to an Army Sergeant and NOT to an Army Private.)
To James Alex: Whenever I “Pull PWD Rank”, I am making use of “Disability Perks” (Disabilities Accommodations) that are ONLY available to PWDs and NOT available to people without Disabilities. “Pulling PWD Rank” has NOTHING to do about me thinking that I am above people without Disabilities. “Pulling PWD Rank” has EVERYTHING to do with me making use of “Disability Perks” (Disabilities Accommodations) wherever they are offered and when it is NEEDED AND NECESSARY for me to use such “Disability Perks” (Disabilities Accommodations).
To James Alex: The acronym
“PWDRHIP” means “Person With Disabilities Rank Has Its Privileges” The acronym “PWDRHIP” serves to remind me that I have the LEGAL-MEDICAL label of “Person With Disabilities” (PWD) and that “Disability Perks” (Disabilities Accommodations) are available to me to use whenever they are offered and and when it is NEEDED AND NECESSARY for me to use such “Disability Perks” (Disabilities Accommodations).
To James Alex: I am an Adult Survivor of extreme Teasing and extreme Bullying (Peer Abuse) and various other types of abuses up to this present date. All of this led to lifelong emotional and lifelong psychological problems including chronic low self-esteem issues and Psychogenic Amnesia (Dissociative Amnesia) and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) due to various types of vicious abuse that I have experienced from Non-PWDs (Outsiders). All of this led to my self esteem being completely shattered and also led me to attempt bullycide (suicide) when I was in my early 20′s. The reason why I have “KING” as part of my screen name is to see myself as “Royalty” and to see myself as a “King” and to imagine myself in wearing a “Royal Monarch’s Crown”. All of this is to help me gain good self esteem, and to give myself positive self-affirmation.
To James Alex: My screen ame “KING” serves as a reminder to myself that it is extremely important to have good self esteem about myself and to have confidence in myself and that it is my God-given right to be treated with dignity, respect, and courtesy from other persons that I meet in life and that I also need to take control and make my own life happen.
To fodaddy19: Even though I do “Pull PWD Rank” when it is NEEDED AND NECESSARY, that does not force me to give up the right of being a NORMAL person because I am still a NORMAL person who just so happen to have Disabilities.
To fodaddy19: Trust me, if you had SEVERE CHRONIC PAIN in the lower part of your body which has GREATLY AFFECTED your ability to walk and to stand for long periods of time, you WILL WANT to “Pull PWD Rank” AND you WILL BE FORCED to “Pull PWD Rank” because of the SEVERE pain that you are in if you are NOT using any assistive mobility devices. I am a NORMAL person who just so happen to have Disabilities even though I have been FORCED to “Pull PWD Rank” at various times.
To susie lou: The reason why is to let people know that I am an actual legitimate PWD and that I am not a member of the A-DPW (Admirers, Devotees, Pretenders, Wannabes) Community. The A-DPW Community are FAKE / PRETEND PWDs that pretend to be PWDs and that also try to pass themselves as actual legitimate PWDs. And yes, I am extremely proud that me and my only child are Disabled PWDs due to the “Disability Pride Movement” within the PWD Community.
To susie lou: I am not Mentally Disabled due to the fact that I have medical training and I lacked 1/2 of a point in making the Dean’s Honor List in college but I was on the 1st Honor List at college.
To susie lou: Another reason why I put what I do in all my postings is to raise awareness about Ectodermal Dysplasias Syndromes (EDS).
No doubt physically challenge or disability is one factor that has impeded or even brought to an abrupt end the life’s journey of many. A person is said to be physically challenged who for one reason or the other cannot perform his normal duties properly and as at when due. Disabilities may be in form of deaf, impaired speech, blindness, etc. The physically challenged notwithstanding can conquer that challenge and become what God has destined him to become if he can boldly declare “I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me”.
Disability is not an inability is a common saying among conquerors. That you are physically challenged does not mean that you are an invalid or a never-do-well. Your physical challenge is not reason for you to languish in itself pity but a time to look inside and find out what abilities and potentials God has so graciously deposited in you because He really has put some strength to cover for that physical challenge or seeming disability.
There are many people in these contemporary times who though physically challenged were not limited by their challenges, today we talked about their feats. You too can choose to see your present physical challenge as a stepping stone to being the person that God has purposed you to be and not as a stumbling block.
John Foppe, a man born without hands and learn to live through life using his legs to write his name,type,put food in his mouth,etc. Fanny Crosby who became blind from infancy, but before her death had written more than 8000 hymns. I became deaf when I was 2 years old as a result of sickness. I was unable to hear and speak at all, but I never counted myself as an unfortunate being because I could do what my peers were capable of doing. Today, I read Business Administration at the University of Ilorin in Nigeria.
There’s so much you can achieve if you will not allow negative emotions occasioned by your physical challenge to weigh you down. Start now and see how much can be done through you. Your life will be a testimony to the wonders of God!

i am trying to help my disabled mother find a mobility scooter that can be driven in the back of a car without the need to take off the battery or fold it. That perhaps could be driven in with a ramp at the rear of the car. She has limited mobility and is not able to use a wheelchair or electric wheelchair. Your help would be so much appreciated if not life changing as it means my mother would finally gain her independence. If you could point me in the direction as to finding a car model and the model of the scooter and would i need to have it road saftey checked? thank you in advance x
