Sometimes, the right support can make a big difference in someone’s workday.

For some people with ADHD, that support might look like a quieter workspace, written instructions, changes to a schedule, or a different way of organizing tasks.

Here’s something you may not realize: ADHD can qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when it substantially limits one or more major life activities. In those situations, a qualified employee may be entitled to reasonable workplace accommodations.

That doesn’t mean everyone with ADHD needs or wants the same support. Accommodations are based on the individual, their job, and what can help them perform its essential functions.

Support doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Sometimes, a reasonable adjustment can help someone do their job in a way that works better for them.

When it comes to Long-Term Disability benefits, how your premiums were paid can make a difference at tax time.

If your employer paid the premiums or you paid them with pre-tax dollars, your LTD benefits may be taxable. If you paid the premiums yourself with after-tax dollars, those benefits are generally tax-free.

And if you and your employer shared the cost? The answer can get more complicated.

Mental health doesn’t always show on the outside.

Someone can show up, smile, go to work, take care of their family, and still be carrying something others can’t see.

On World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded of the importance of listening to people’s lived experiences without assuming we understand what they’re going through.

Making room for honest conversations about mental health helps create a world where people don’t have to hide what they’re experiencing to be seen for who they are.

Everyone’s experience is different. Today is a reminder to listen, lead with compassion, and give people the space to share their story in their own way.

You waited months—or even years—for the VA to decide your disability claim. But when your claim is finally approved, where does that leave all that time you spent waiting?

That’s where VA back pay comes in.

How much you receive can depend on factors like your effective date, disability rating, and changes in VA compensation rates over time, and determining the correct effective date isn’t always straightforward.

Work is about more than what someone can do on their easiest day.

It’s also about creating workplaces where people have the opportunity to contribute their strengths, ask for the support they need, and be recognized for what they bring to the team.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month is a chance to celebrate workers with disabilities while continuing the larger conversation about inclusion, opportunity, and what meaningful participation in the workplace can look like.

Because disability is part of someone’s story, not the sum of what they have to offer.

“I had an outstanding experience with Marc Whitehead & Associates in securing approval for my SSDI claim. From start to finish, their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly committed.

I especially want to recognize Yudit V., Sarai L., and Kimberly W. Each of them played an important role throughout the process, keeping me informed, answering my questions, and ensuring that everything was handled thoroughly and professionally.

Navigating the SSDI process can be overwhelming, but their guidance made a significant difference.” — Client Testimonial

An SSDI claim can involve months of medical records, paperwork, deadlines, and decisions that aren't always easy to understand. Having a team that stays engaged throughout that process can make a difficult experience much more manageable.

When you're already dealing with a serious health condition and the uncertainty of being unable to work, trying to keep up with a disability claim can feel like another full-time responsibility. Clear answers, regular communication, and knowing what comes next can take some of that weight off your shoulders.

We’re grateful for their trust in our team and proud to recognize Yudit, Sarai, and Kimberly for the dedication they brought to this client’s case.

Agent Orange is closely associated with the Vietnam War, but Vietnam isn’t the only place where veterans may have encountered herbicides during their military service.

VA’s rules for presumed exposure now cover qualifying service in additional locations and circumstances, including certain areas of Thailand, the Korean DMZ, and other locations where Agent Orange or other herbicides were used, tested, or stored. Certain veterans who served aboard vessels in qualifying waters may also be covered.

That’s why where and when a veteran served can be just as important as knowing their diagnosis when exploring a potential Agent Orange-related disability claim.

The rules surrounding herbicide exposure have also changed over time, so veterans who previously believed their service didn’t qualify may find that current VA criteria tell a different story.

A fall can happen in seconds. The effects can last much longer.

While some falls result in injuries that heal with time, others can lead to lasting health complications, including fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, chronic pain, mobility limitations, and neurological problems.

The impact can extend well beyond the initial injury. Recovery may involve surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing medical care, or changes to everyday routines. For some, lasting limitations can also affect independence, family responsibilities, and the ability to return to the work they once performed.

Fall prevention is important, but so is recognizing what recovery can look like when an injury becomes life-changing. Greater awareness means taking both the immediate risks and the potential long-term effects of a serious fall seriously.
