Disability Tax Credit for Walking Impairment
How you are eligible for Disability Tax Credit for Walking Impairment A walking impairment means that it takes an inordinate amount of time to walk even with appropriate therapy, medication, and devices. These devises include canes and walkers for example. To be considered as markedly restricted, you must always be reliant on a wheelchair outside of your home, and have difficulty walking 100 meters.
How it affects the Person’s Daily Life A walking impairment is the limitation of independently moving within the environment on foot. For patients with multiple sclerosis, walking impairments are one of the most common features of this central nervous system disease. In a poll of over 2000 people, 87% of the people with multiple sclerosis said that they experienced limitations in their walking ability.
To assist a patient with a walking impairment, mobility aids include crutches, canes, wheelchairs, or artificial limbs to obtain mobility. This physical impairment may cause patients to experience physical discomfort, such as stiffness, spasticity, or loss of muscle control. In addition, people with walking impairments may need mobility assistance. Independently, they may be reluctant to attempt movement due to the pain and discomfort they may experience from it. Having a walking impairment may impact an individual’s daily living in a number of ways. For example, lack of independence may arise if they need assistance with mobility.
