Hmmmmm. I got 100% total disability because of my knee, not replaced, and 25% whole body to go along with that.


The doctor has to fill out a form from the WDFW and send it in stating your disability. That's what mine did.. :dunno:
I'm just taking a guess but that sounds military related, only place I know of that grades disabilities with percent.

To the op I was told that if its not military disability as long as you qualify for a permanent placard you can get disabled status.

Really it all boils down to what your doctor thinks based on wdfw requirements. My father lost a few toes and now he cant walk very far so his mobility is limited. He got his disability card no problem.
There is a higher level of disability that qualifies you to have access to closed roads and certain areas but they expect you to be in a wheel chair and unable to walk.
Atleast that's how I understood it all.

Hmmm. I have to check into this more. I have both artificial hip and right elbow and I was told by a game warden that it required a significant degree of decrease in mobility.

Interesting

"A person who has permanent non-operable physical lower extremity impairment and is not ambulatory over natural terrain without a lower extremity prosthesis"

The warden got it wrong.  An artificial joint is a prosthesis.

Yes, he was wrong. And once you have the designation, you're able to use any service available to disabled hunters in the state - Companion hunter, key access, special blinds, etc.

Thank you for the information. I will get to looking into how to get this accomplished.

In the wardens defense, he stopped my brother and I as we were packing a bull out of a canyon in the Ryderwood unit and had watched us for a hr or so climbing out of a hell hole with full packs.

Would ankle fusion surgery qualify for the disability card?
MAGA, Never give up.

I think it would. Does it limit your mobility and does your doctor agree with the WDFW questionnaire ?

Definitely limits my mobility over ruff terrain. After a  day of hiking, I’m nursing a sore foot for a couple days for sure.
Haven’t gone that far with the doc and the questionnaire yet. Never thought I would qualify.

I takes about 5 minutes to fill out. Make sure you sign and date it. Mail it to your doctor with a pre-addressed stamped envelope to the WDFW. Call him ahead of time to let him know what he needs to do. Once Olympia gets it, you'll know right away if you're qualified and they'll send you what you need. It sounds like you might qualify. There's zero reason not to at least apply.

I faxed in my paperwork and it was approved the same day, this was for military disability, I recently broke my foot and had surgery, I can't put any weight on it for another two weeks, this will limit my hunting season,  and I reached out to get clarification, and all they told me was since this will be a permanent issue for me I would be eligible for all the benifits afforded disabled hunters on top of what I was already getting.

I'm glad they took care of you. Sorry you got hurt serving us. You've already sacrificed more for our country than 95% of our population. Thank you for your service.
