agree  philgoddard: You could also say "semi-dependent". Or to avoid repetition of "disabled", you could say "of all degrees of disability or none".

  -> I think "partially-disabled" works well here:) Thank you!
agree  cc in nyc: After grading: I just noticed that the answer that I inadvertently entered after yours (and then hid) was "partially disabled persons" (which might also work)

neutral  rkillings: "persons with or without minor or major disabilities" would be less politically incorrect these days. Unless you really *need* to use the terminology of social insurance benefits.
