Disability like not working again? Or just for a small amount of time or what? If you're going for full disability know that you're likely to get denied at LEAST once and you're gonna have to go for many medical exams and all that. If you're gonna do it, don't do it and then give up on it tho.

Short term. I'll definitely be able to work again but just not right now while I'm healing. Ideally I'd want long-term though... but I doubt I'd be able to get it because I've been able to work. I'm just not able to when I've suffered a seizure from my brain device getting blocked which threatens my life.click to expand

I'm guessing you've maxed your vacation and sick days.
Do you guys have EI?

What's EI?
I got paid out my PTO from my job that fired me but that's it. I'm just unemployed and trying to stay afloat.click to expand

Ohh yeah. So here it's called UI (unemployment insurance) and I did qualify for it but I can't get paid out for that if I'm not ready to go back to work. I have to be able to return to work in order to get paid... which IMO is crazy.click to expand

Yes. Because what the fuck am I supposed to do for income now? I qualified for these benefits but now that I literally just had emergency neurosurgery, I can't go back to work so oh, now I'm not eligible to get paid my unemployment benefits. FOHclick to expand

So my symptoms didn't actually start showing up severely enough for me to notice until after I got fired. But with that being said, I'm technically disabled since I have a VP shunt that was surgically inserted into my head to stop me from risking having seizures. I depend on it to be able to function normally. Having had brain cancer, the tumor put pressure on my skull and my CSF wouldn't drain properly which added to the pressure and caused me to have seizures as a baby. I was put on an IEP and the special ed program throughout elementary and middle school. I got off of that program in high school only because my IQ had improved up to the standard for kids my age at the time.
The last employer I had prior to this most recent one did know I was sick when they let me go. I didn't have the money to see a doctor at the time so they fired me for attendance issues.click to expand

Honestly I don't even know if it's worth the effort. I probably wouldn't come out with a lot of money doing that so I'm letting it go. Plus my company sent me instructions on how to file to unemployment when they dismissed me, so I'm overall okay with the result.click to expand

I *hate* asking people for money because it feels so embarrassing for me and gives me anxiety... not to mention I just talked to my dad who was here after I got out of the hospital and asked if he could loan me $ 1k and he said no, but he's been spending thousands of dollars on plane tickets to go see my mom's brother's ex-wife (my aunt) and take her out and now he's talking about taking them to Japan for a vacation. So I'm ready to curse him out.click to expand

As someone on them.. it's not. It took me like 6+ years. They're going to make you jump through every hoop. Make sure your doctors are taking notes accurately. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself, don't worry about coming off as mean or pushy. It's YOUR health. YOU are the one that has to deal with this for however long and YOU are the one that has bills to pay etc. None of these people engaging with you in the medical or legal arenas will entirely care about that. YOU advocate for YOU. I know people on them with way more definitive problems, massive problems and they still got denied and had to appeal. Do not ever let your application or appeal die or you will have to start over IIRC.click to expand

Not only is that unethical, her siblings are around her age and establishing their own lives. Your family can’t always bail you out in life, especially when you’re pushing 30.
