<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=tahoma>this explains it all. I would def call social security and make sure you are coded as blind. I know that sounds dumb because duh, you are, but you wouldn't believe the errors SS makes-or maybe you would believe it! Since people who are blind can earn more than people with other disabilities, you need to make sure you're coded right. </FONT></DIV>
