Discusses the question of how an independent daily life is possible for disabled people when relying upon professional service provision and the bureaucratic gate-keeping systems of the welfare state in relation to an interview study. Eighteen mobility disabled and 20 service providers in one local setting in Norway were interviewed. Highlights at least three categories regarding how independence is interpreted among the disabled: the super-normal, the independent living activists, and those experiencing powerlessness and lack of support. The analysis points out how these categories are constructed in relations between the disabled person, professional service providers and the gate-keeping systems of the welfare bureaucracy.
