	Disability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This definition, known as the 'social model' of disability, makes a clear distinction between the impairment itself (such as a medical condition that makes a person unable to walk or unable to sit) and the disabling effects of society in relation to that impairment.
		Many books on disability and disability rights point out that 'disabled' is an identity that one is not necessarily born with, as disabilities are more often acquired than congenital.
		Some disability rights activists use an acronym TAB, Temporarily Able-Bodied, as a reminder that many people will develop disabilities at some point in their lives, due to accidents, illness (physical, mental or emotional), or late-emerging effects of genetics.

		The overall disability rate was 19.4 percent, but the rate ranged from 5.8 percent for children under 18 years old, to 13.6 percent for persons 18 to 44 years old, to 29.2 percent for persons 45 to 64 years old, and to 53.9 percent for persons 65 years old and over.
		The presence of a disability is associated with lower levels of income and an increased likelihood of being in poverty.
		The effect of disability on the likelihood of private coverage was particularly strong among those with a severe disability; only 48.1 percent were covered by a private plan, while 36.2 percent had government coverage, and 15.7 percent had no coverage.

	Disability Insurance protects your income
		When a disability leaves you unable to work for an extended length of time, you lose the ability to earn an income- the one thing you've always relied on to provide for yourself and your loved ones.
		When you purchase disability insurance through your employer, you may be able to have premiums deducted from your pay on a pretax basis.
		Disability is considered either "Own Occupation," which is the inability to perform the duties of your own specific occupation, or "Any Occupation," which is the inability to perform the duties of any job for which your education and training qualify you.
