[NFBMO] Blind Pension Legislation

[Debbie Wunder]

If a person recently went blind, they may indeed still have their drivers license. There is a grief process, and a time period where I believe people  have a difficult time in making the transition to blindness. It seems to me that giving over  their licens is just part of that adjustment period. CCertainly they could not use it for driving purposes.

Hi,

I haven't considered the entire language.
Mo health net coverage is just as good as cash to me.

You don’t find it retaliatory that in the same year that the lawsuit was settled, the legislature passes measures to change provisions that will allow DSS to keep Pension payments the same or decrease them at their discretion?
