I would look into that, but I don't think that they have to give you leave or pay you anything, but things are different from state to state. I have been in the disability process for three years now. Unfortunately, it will generally ruin your life before it helps you. I would explain the situation to your employer and see if they can help you with some time off and maybe a sebatical, If you feel like you truly can't work but wanna see if you can get better I would leave my job and collect unemployment for that period of time and then if you still don't see any improvement you can start the disability process. I have been looking into these things for years now and as far as I can tell in our country there really isn't any such thing as temporary disability, which I know doesn't make any sense. Basically if you were diagnosed with Cancer tomorrow, you would apply for the same thing whether you die tomorrow or are better in two years. It sucks.To prove disbabilty you have to have your doctor agree that you can't work 40 hours a week at ANY job. If they feel that there is a job somewhere on this Earth they expect you to do it. I know that this all sounds really awful,but I'm just trying to give you your best options? |
"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)
