My mother is 63 years old and she recently suffered a stroke. There were few symptoms that developed after the stroke that resulted in hemiparesis. I want to know if this is a disability?

Yes, hemiparesis is considered as a disability which is a one sided weakness. Though this is not as debilitating as paralysis it has quite similar effects on the body. Main cuases for hemiparesis include stroke and also few diseases like cerebral palsy, a few cancers, and multiple sclerosis.
