Receiving money from the state due to disability
Question
I was diagnosed with Asperger’s (autism), and the state determined that I am entitled to a disability percentage for life and a stipend. In terms of day-to-day functioning, I don’t really feel that it affects me, except perhaps for some mild social anxiety. The question is whether I should give up the money, or since everything was done legally and honestly, there is no problem with receiving it?
Answer
I don’t see any problem with receiving it. You are entitled to it by law.
