Yes, because regular Social Security benefits (as opposed to Social Security Disability benefits) is not affected by other disabilities Depending upon the facts, Social Security Disability may be somewhat different Benefits are granted under SSDI if it has been determined that thea pplicant is wholly unable to perform any kind of job for compensation (and if other conditions are met, such as having paid in to the system for a sufficient length of time) Under a private disability policy, depending upon its definition of "disability", you may be ble to collect if you are unable to perform the work duties of the job that you had at the time of onset of your disability. Other definitions of "disability" may allow benefits if you are unable to perform a specific occupation or progession. That is, if a physician has a policy that provides disability benefits if he can no longer be an orthopedic surgeon, he may may still be able to collect benefits if his disability does not prevent him from reviewing medical records for compensation.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
