[blindlaw] some questions

Fri Sep 2 03:05:26 UTC 2011

The important thing to continue to prove this is to continue to engage in 
your regular daily activities and show that you are following through with 
whatever schooling or work program that you are considering. The other 
factor that a court looks at in determining competency is how well you 
manage your finances and daily living activities and it soulds like you are 
doing well in trying to attain your goals.
