Polio survivors certainly DO work. One polio survivor was a supreme court justice. Many were members of Congress. Another polio survivors was president of the United States. Polio survivors have 3 1/2 years of education n average and are the world's "best and brightest, regardless of the severity of the polio disability.
However, there are regulations and a Social Security Ruling on Post-Polio Sequelae that allow American polio survivors to receive Social Security disability income if they can no longer work due to PPS.
