Re: [BayCanaryGrapevine] ADA & The Aged

Frances,
 
The American With Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to everyone regardless of age. 
 
It is unclear from your message whether you realize that SSDI has nothing to do with the ADA.  It does not; therefore, you can request reasonable accommodation.  I must tell you that every single senior housing I have looked at is toxic.  They use time-released air fresheners or plug-ins in the hallways, apartments, etc.  Getting accommodation for your MCS is not going to be easy in senior housing.
 
If you need any further information regarding accommodation, you can email me privately.  I'm not a lawyer, but have worked in the law for a number of years and have dealt with this accommodation issue repeatedly for a long time now.
 
Betty

Urgent Question:
When I turned 65, I was told by an SSDI worker that my official status
shifted from "disabled" to "aged" and I was therefore no longer
eligible for SSDI work incentives.
Does anyone know about my status with ADA and reasonable accommodation?
I am applying for senior housing (due to drug/criminal activity where
I now live), and will likely need reasonable accommodation for my MCS.
Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
