Infirmity

For last nights workshop participants at the CGA Fraser Valley Computer User Group...some follow up notes:

Find the wording for the qualified medical practitioner (could be mental or physical infirmity) in the Family Caregiver Amount link

I've posted about infirmity a few times in the past year and each link has different wording and information that may strike a chord or provide the language you need to ask a QP to write a letter certifying infirmity:

This link takes you to Examples of impairments for those videos with Gumby I talked about, remember that disability isn't infirmity... but this will help with the definitions of disability.

Click on the Examples, and then click on each type, and a video will come up,
for example, click on Walking or Dressing... and each of the 8 examples has a video

These are a great tool for you to use with families or their doctors, as the videos are cute, short, and pack a powerful message:

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
