Abstract

The first document discusses a legal case involving a group home for disabled persons challenging county occupancy limits. The court ruled that the county's policies violated the Fair Housing Amendments Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, as they were discriminatory based on disability. The second document summarizes a legal case involving the Social Security Administration and the evaluation of disabilities. The court emphasized the importance of the treating physician rule and mentioned changes that affect patient access to future resources. Both cases highlight the need to eliminate barriers and discriminatory policies that limit community living for disabled groups. [Extracted from the article]
