Well when I win my Human Rights case that will be good for all of us! When I retire I would Love to go to a case when there is a parent fighting a doctor and I was a expert witness! Let that doctor say anything and it is so easy for a doctor to defendend them self againsts a mother and child who were injuierd with erbs because to of the unknown facter of your child future ! good luck doc I could explain what it means to live the life with Erbs That was impossed on me and my parents!And telling me my drop wrist,spinlt that I wore,and the facture elbow from birth I was told my hole life that what happen to my Erbs arm was aDeformite.I dont think a jury or a judge could look at me or that child or mother and not have compasion for the child with Erbs or there Parents! I am just so Mad You Have To deal with that some Doctors still are seen like they can make a mistake and you have to suffer by there denile!I am So Mad!!! Tom

Question" Does the State of Illinois reconize Erb's Palsy as a disability?" The reason for my question is that other parents here in Illinois that I have spoken with has had problems trying to get disability benefits for their child and I have feared trying to apply due to the number of rejections I've heard.

Rachel,
I retired early as a state employee of Ohio (Kent State is a state school) with a disability. They recognized my brachial plexus injury as a disability. I got it on my first application, didn't even need to appeal.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
Location: New York

When I applied for disability they said I had to be 5 months out of work and without pay. They said I had to be considered a "new" injury. I had to write a resume detailing what I could and could not do and all of the jobs I held over my life time along with a description of volunteer activities... when I did not hear from them I contacted them and was told my application was under Federal Review... just by chance.

I finally got it. after two years on disability was told that I could collect my full SS... that was strange considering I was 62 when I finally gave up and applied.

I assumed I would have no problem because I always worked and once I started to have problems I cut my hours and salary to part time then even cut that time. The only thing that did for me was to lower my SS payments for life. I was over 10 years part time and that made the difference. I feel I made a big mistake not filing sooner instead of trying to work all I accomplished was to lower the $ amount on my SS.
