How Likely Are You to Become Disabled?
The calculator, developed by the non-profit Council for
Disability Awareness (CDA), first asks the user a few
simple questions and calculates his or her personalized
PDQ. It then estimates the user’s future earnings
potential, and offers practical tips on how to prevent a
disability if possible, or at least prepare for it
financially, if unavoidable, according to a press release.
The tool’s educational resources are organized into two
categories: disability prevention and financial protection,
both of which link to information also available on the
CDA’s main Web site,
www.disabilitycanhappen.org
. Prevention resources focus on health care, lifestyle and
safety tips, while planning resources include tools to help
people budget for lost income, tap into other benefits, and
secure their financial plans, the press release said.
The calculator is accessible free-of-charge at www.WhatsMyPDQ.org .
