Question: Does my disability put me at higher risk of contracting or becoming severely ill due to COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People Who Are at Higher Risk for Severe Illness
section_content: COVID-19 is a new disease and there is limited information regarding risk
factors for severe disease. Based on currently available information and
clinical expertise, older adults and people of any age who have serious
underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness
from COVID-19.
Based on what we know now, those at high-risk for severe illness from COVID-19
are:

People 65 years and older
People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility

People of all ages with underlying medical conditions, particularly if not
well controlled, including:

People with chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
People who have serious heart conditions
People who are immunocompromised 
Many conditions can cause a person to be immunocompromised, including cancer treatment, smoking, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, poorly controlled HIV or AIDS, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and other immune weakening medications

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. This information is explaining about people who might be at higher risk from Covid-19, such as elderly people and other people of all ages with underlying medical conditions. However, it does not mention any information about people with disability and their risk of getting infected or becoming severe ill from Covid-19.
While the answer does not mention any disability in and of itself it is possible that the requester became disabled due to one of the conditions listed here or may have one of these conditions in addition to their disability so this information would be relevant to them.

page_title: People with Disabilities
section_headers: Disability Groups and Risk
section_content: If you have one of the disability types listed below, you might be at
increased risk of becoming infected or having unrecognized illness. You should
discuss your risk of illness with your healthcare provider.

People who have limited mobility or who cannot avoid coming into close contact with others who may be infected, such as direct support providers and family members
People who have trouble understanding information or practicing preventive measures, such as hand washing and social distancing
People who may not be able to communicate symptoms of illness


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Since the requester did not specify what type of disability they had this answer satisfies with a list of people that are more at risk of COVID-19 due their specific types of disabilities. However there is no other guidance given other than to speak to a healthcare provider.
This answers the question directly. The answer provides information on types of disabilities that might increase the chance of a person becoming infected by Covid-19 or other unrecognized illness.

page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Higher Risk
Are people with disabilities at higher risk?
section_content: Most people with disabilities are not inherently at higher risk for becoming
infected with or having severe illness from COVID-19. Some people with
physical limitations or other disabilities might be at a higher risk of
infection because of their underlying medical condition.

People with certain disabilities might experience higher rates of chronic health conditions that put them at higher risk of serious illness and poorer outcomes from COVID-19. Adults with disabilities are three times more likely to have heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer than adults without disabilities.

You should talk with your healthcare provider if you have a question about
your health or how your health condition is being managed.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Requester did not specify what type of disability they had but answer lets them know that if there is an "underlying medical condition" then their risk will go up including other maladies like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer.
This information answers the question directly. The information provides explanation on how people with certain disabilities might have higher risk of severe illness or poorer outcomes if infected by Covid-19.
