If you’re asking whether I’m able to move about within my house, then sure. Beyond that, things get murky.
Does agoraphobia count as a disability? What if, for sufficiently short periods, it’s bearable, but ultimately it crushes?
I’ve walked the 15 minutes down to the dentist’s office and back (I’m lucky to live so close) a handful of times in the last couple of years (not so lucky with my teeth I guess), for example.
Or is this more about “Can [I] afford to use those modes of transport which take [me] to far-off places on a regular basis?”
Now we’ve got to define “far-off”. In theory, I could probably afford to take the bus anywhere within the county on a regular basis. And if I did, there’s a travel pass I could buy that would reduce the cost somewhat.
Taxis? Maybe once or twice a week if they remain relatively local.
Airline flights to foreign countries (or distant ends of the same one), which is probably what this is all about? I’d have to dip into savings, and those should probably be spent on more important things. So, no.
Depends what you mean by “ability” and “travel”.
