Dealing With Disabilities

According to the American Association of People with Disabilities, more than 50 million people in the U.S. have a disability. People with disabilities, and their families, often spend a lot of money on medical care, services, and equipment. Let DCU help you be prepared for any financial issues that may surface due to your disability.

Prepare for it – Make sure all of your important documents are organized and in one safe place. This can include a durable power of attorney, health care proxy, and living will. Also, make sure your medical coverage is adequate and it covers any long-term care or physical therapy.

Fund it – DCU's Mobility Vehicle and Access Loans can help you purchase a modified vehicle to help you get around, modify your home or vehicle, purchase adaptive computer and communications equipment, purchase rehabilitative equipment, and much more!

Research It – The Internet is crammed with literally thousands of potential resources for people dealing with disabilities. Information providers range from advocacy groups to individuals, from research organizations to manufacturers and vendors of specialized equipment. Out of this flood of information, knowing where to start to find the right information can be a challenge. That's why we developed the StreetWise Resource Guide for Persons with Disabilities.
