I was wanting to know if anyone knew what rights disabled people have these days????? . I have 4 herniated discs and a morphine pump surgically implanted inside me. I have my water meter read by the water company every month because im disabled. Each month for the last 6 mths my bill would state that i used 8000 gallons of water when i was only using 1500 gal of water. Every month i called them to have it adjusted, after calling every mth for 6 mths they told me to read my meter myself. I told them that i was disabled and that i couldnt help it that i have to call to adjust my bill every month and that im not paying for 8000 gal of water when i only use 1500-2000 gal per mth! They told me that i was just gonna have to read it myself from now on… Now what rights do disabled people have these days when people treat disabled people like this??? I usually dont complain but this really went right though me!

Nobody knows or how it feels within your soul when your rights have been violated then taken away by the government for something you haven’t done nor commit any crime as this has happened to me yet have been denied appeals and hearings that was purposely set up to return to this high power employee that makes sure any requests,comments, actions return “ONLY TO HER” so that this high power employee ends it at her desk without any other interference.. It’s worse than being in prison without the bars.
I have been physically disabled for twenty-one years but my mind is sharp a tack.I don’t want to harm anyone or myself or kill, etc etc, My peaceful, quiet life has been spitefully taken from me due to gross negligence.
A horrible attack has been documented in stone regarding my competency that when I questioned this shocking surprise, I was treated rudely, threatened to be federally arrested and or committed to silence me for asking questions. I’ve been ignored and patronized by advocates, court clerks, and a long list of avenues in attempts to demand a formal hearing to report this to an administrative federal law judge. I’m being kept in silence and now believe I’m no longer a member of society, I’m worthless as a human being because I’m alone in life. No friends,family and that was the cue for this to happen because they know I’m helpless with nowhere to go or to be listened to about how the disabilities laws were set in place but don’t work for me as imposed. I’m barely hanging on to the little that’s left of my mind that it has left me extremely frightened for what new surprise will happen to me next? I feel the calm before the storm…I do not wish this on ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I pray to GOD I made it this far and don’t know how much longer I can maintain.

I am really frustrated. My husband has been diagnosed with a learning/reading disability and the profession he has been working in for the last 15 years + is now requiring him to be certified. The certification requires a lengthy computer “reading” test. He has taken the test several times…the last time he received a 69…70 is passing. This has made him very depressed. He has worked hard to get into this profession, which is all hands on!! Help!!
