How can you identify a disabled person?

Don't automatically refer to 'disabled people' in all communications – many people who need disability benefits and services don't identify with this term. Consider using 'people with health conditions or impairments' if it seems more appropriate.

What is the disability questionnaire?

DBQs were developed as a specific means to collect the necessary medical information required in the processing of Veterans disability claims. DBQs provide Veterans with a way to submit medical evidence from their health care provider to support their claims for disability benefits.

How do you ask someone if they have a disability?

Using matter-of-fact language is the best way to handle it. Ask about the specific thing (like "May I ask about your ADHD?") or use the word "disability." Questions like "What's wrong with you?" can come off as insensitive. Questions like "May I ask what your disability is?" is much more polite and neutral in tone.

How do I know if I am totally and permanently disabled?

How to Know When Your Disability Rating is Permanent. Take a look at the decision letter VA sent you when granting benefits (i.e., your Rating Decision's Notice of Action letter). On some Rating Decisions, there is a Permanent and Total box that will be checked if your 100% disability is permanent.
