? about definition of permanent disability.

[Guest guest]

I receive disability due to my RA and go through evaluations every 3-4 years.

My disability income started in 5/99.

Recently I have begun considering going to college. Of course this is expensive

but they have a tuition waiver that reads:

Any resident of the State of land who is retired from the work force by

reason of total permanent disability may register tuition-free for any credit

class in which ten or more paying students have enrolled. To receive this

exemption, the student must provide certification to the Cashier's Office in the

Student Center in the form of a receipt of disability benefits from either the

Social Security Administration or the appropriate Federal pension/retirement

authority.

From that wording I am assuming that this means loss of limb or sight type of

disability. Since I am being reviewed I am not quite sure I would qualify. I

have an appt. next month with an advisor but if possible would like some input.
