You may be protected under the "Americans with Disabilities Act". It does depend on what your disability is, however. Contact a lawyer that specializes in employment law. If moeny is tight, send a letter to the ACLU.

Just a form?  Oh, wait until they want to meet with you!  \n\nI don't know enough about your situation to clearly advise you.  If you've been working, make sure you tell them that you have some kind of accommodations made so you can do the job.  Shorter hours, flexible hours, extra help from supervisor, whatever is believable and reasonably likely you have.  \n\nIf you're not working, you likely have nothing to worry about.\n\nWhen I was reviewed I was worried.  I have some good days and don't appear to have any problems.  And I've had a few part-time, temporary jobs.  It turned out that the interview was in the next city- and I didn't know my way around.  I got lost, almost didn't make it.  (If you don't make it you lose, they said- even though it makes more sense to me that if I can't organize my time enough and find the place that shows I couldn't do a job, right?)  Anyway- I got so stressed over the city traffic, getting lost, almost being late- I was a basket case when I went in.  That's all it took.\n\nThank goodness they didn't see me in a better situation.  A bad experience made the day overall a good day- as I kept my disability.

Contact your local community services.  There is a service offered for people with disabilities.  The will come in and clean your house, do laundry, and help with the cooking.  They will also have someone go buy your groceries for you.  Not a good idea to have them delivered to your door.  You just never know.  Try these local services.  I would trust them before I would truat a total stranger.  Good luck, let us know how you are doing.

Unless your illness falls under a disability covered under the American with Disabilities Act, I think you are out of luck absent some employment contract.  Since I doubt you have a contract for employment, your employment is at will, therefore you can be fired (or you can quit) at anytime. Good luck.

You need to get a lawyer either way.  Disability is a federal program, not regulated by the states, though you have to go through the state social security system to get placed on disability.  Unless you are missing both arms or are completely paralyzed you NEED a lawyer to have any chance of getting disability.  They deny over 90% of initial applications and without an attourney you have almost zero chance of making an appeal.  If you can show that your condition (no matter what it is) is completely preventing you from maintaining gainfull employment you can get disability.  Right now you'll get about $600 a month plus a supplement for your kids but it will take at least a year (oh, and legal representation ;) to start receiving payments.

The answer is "Depends".\n\nIf you are released from your job, you should be eligible for unemployment benefits. However, when there is an accident involved, it is whether you would go on disability (either short term or long term, I dont know the nature of your injuries). Are you able to return to work in any capacity? If not, then it would most likely be a disability or workman's compensation claim. I dont know what state you are in, but it would depend on the laws involved.

you need to talk to your doctor, if he has documented you disabilities it's you doctors reports that persuades SSI your need for benefits.  By all means file, and put your doctors name as physician, as it was explained to me the Doctor's report is a deciding factor, SSI will send you to a doctor of their choice, for a second opinion,  As it was explained to me you are not expected to take a job of night clerk or anything.  If you are disabled where you cannot do the work you have been trained to do you are disabled.  I wasn't expecting to get disability, but my income had decreased due to working at a lower level, but could not continue and my income reflected the lower level, so got disability within a month.  Health insurance was a problem had to wait to get on medicare,

Freecycle sites are a place to start and also check with AARP in your town/city, call the colleges or tech institutes and see if they have programs that might help.  In my town the tech schools will help with supplies if you qualify and they have lots of different programs. \nCall the disability office and ask about retraining programs. They would like for you to get back in the work force.

Perhaps your employer has some sort of long- and/or short-term disability program.  With these, the patient usually receives some or all of his salary and benefits for the duration (or a substantial portion thereof) of his illness or treatment.  Best of luck to you and to your family during what must be a really tough time.

When I got my disability they pulled up every job that I have had in my life. So I think they will just pull it up for you. IN the part that I had to write down I just filled it out with my most recent jobs, then when I went for the meeting they pulled all of them up. Good luck!!

yea possibly... you need to make sure it's thoroughly documented in your medical record.  your initial complaints, follow-ups, everything... and if not, go in and complain before you get out... i got out last year and wasn't expecting disability but actually ended up with 30%...

Hi Wylien, \n  I can't pick you up cause I don't have no car and I have to GO to work and I need a ride. So if you get someone to pick you up, can you have him/her stop by my place and pick me up, then they can drop you off and bring me to work, then they can go back to bar to see you. \nI can't lose another job for being late. This will be the third this month!!! Help me please!!

I'd go to the unemployment office and get that started,  then use their computers to get a different job.  Since I have a college degree and some experience in a field that is in demand, someone would hire me.  Additionally in the meantime I would take classes to develope my skills to get a better resume to be more employable.

Depending on your age, you could claim illness of you or family member.  Or disability, (I got out of a couple of jobs claiming disability).  I never got a job that demanded a contract, though.  Or, you might claim another job back home.  One that pays better and is in a better enviroment.  But, I think I'd claim illness in the family.  Most people are pretty sympathetic to that, I think.
