If you CAN work, then you are not disabled and not entitled to benefits through disability or SSI program

In regards to the back to work incentives and monetary threshold that you're allowed to earn while being defined as disabled (which I might add IS NOT an easy task, is nothing more than a trick to challenge your eligibility at some point down the road. The real earnings amount without raising flags & jeopardizing your only source of income while being disabled is actually under $500.

To those in this thread that seem to be suggesting someone is getting over on the system: as a person that consistently earned six figures who in their right mind would want to live off disability benefits? Please God take away this disability and give me the health to earn my old paycheck.

MEANWHILE, supervisor at goodwill could NOT hire me as my doctors would NOT RELEASE me to work -she, too advised me if I don't come to work, if I do not do enough, they can fire me at any time AND she said speak with your lawyer as I will lose my benefits and all my back pay-she suggested to come back for TICKET TO WORK PROGRAM BUT-same will hold true, if I cannot come to work for whatever reason, if i am continually late or need to take too many breaks or sit down, if I cannot do the job or do quota, etc they can fire me for whatever reason they wish

Just swell...She said wi would nOT be able to sit and rest; she said I would oNLY get morning 10 minute break and afternoon one-plus half hour off for lunch, no smoking breaks either; if I have problem with incontinence, IBS or my bladder I MUST wear a diaper-i cannot simply walk off my job to use the restroom-I asked what's ACCOMODATION all about then?
