““I don’t miss mediocre sex or bad sex, just the great sex. There’s no gender up in heaven so it’s only this distinction that helps us figure out who was a man and who was a woman. The men even miss the disastrous sex.””

VA Proposed Change for Rating ALS

By Steve, on June 24th, 2010

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its Schedule for Rating Disabilities by revising the evaluation criterion for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to provide a 100-percent evaluation for any veteran with service-connected ALS. This change is necessary to adequately compensate veterans who suffer from this progressive, untreatable, and fatal disease. This change is intended to provide a total disability rating for any veteran with service-connected ALS.

Because I have only limited functional use of one hand, I use Dasher, as shown here, to type without a keyboard, only a mouse. Great for loss of use of one hand, even if there's no fine motor control in your better hand. Also adaptable for eyegaze and head-mouse use. Give it a try! I supplement Dasher with an on-screen keyboard called Skeleton Key, created by a PALS, Dov Wisebrod.
