TPG echoes these comments from Spec-Ops.

The task of independently verifying oneself is difficult (or impossible) for many disabled people. Current methods often require people with disabilities to relinquish any degree of privacy and/or to share personal data insecurely. The ability to provide verification digitally has enormous potential to change both these things.
