Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) depends on the severity of the condition and how long you have had it. In some cases, CTS will improve after a few months without treatment. Moving your hand or shaking your wrist can often help relieve the symptoms.
The Social Security Administration has a strict definition of permanent disability, and it only pays benefits to people who cannot work because they have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death.
As of 2017, the dependent must earn less than $4,050 in taxable income. The good news is that Social Security checks are normally excluded. Thus, if the disabled person is drawing Social Security disability checks, this income does not count toward the taxable income.
