No you would not because it is correctable through surgery. Infact, there are some wonderful new procedures that can be done 'outpatient'. Infact, you can get up and walk immediately afterwards and can even go back to work the next day.

Don't listen to the bullshit person above me. Just another Tom Cruise on a useless cruisade. I have ADHD and I've had a friend tell me that out of all the people she's knows who've been diagnosed with it, I'm the one she truly believes has it. I hate when people try to call it bullshit because I deal with it EVERY DAY.\n\nAnyway, enough ranting. I know that in 1991, the US department of Education determined that children with ADHD were included for services under PL 94-142. This law states that all children with disabilities between ages of 6 and 21, regardless of the type or severity of their disability are to receive free, appropriate public education at the public's expense.  It means that the schools are required by law to make accomendations (differently worded tests, longer testing periods, different testing environment, etc) and provide you with services (allowing you to tape record lectures, have a note taker, etc).\n\nI'm pretty sure though that once you get past 21, the government is not going to give you money or assistance, but you can't be discriminated against as far as jobs go and great bosses will understand your condition and try to make accomendations for you.\n\nHope this helps!

A year for the enhanced rate, but you can apply for Disability Living Allowance after six months.  \n\nIts up to you to make sure you get your medical note in on time, simple enough, as you can see the date on the previous one.  Your claim won't be closed if your note is a couple of days late, as doctors often will not issue a new certificate until after the date the old one expired.

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.

It's actually a total of six months from the time you were disabled, and there is no guarantee you will be approved then. It's just the time you have to wait to apply. They really could care less if you survive or not, as a matter of fact it's to their benefit if you don't.

You can be eligable for rights under the ADA (American's with Disabilities Act.)  Your illness and recuperation could be considered an ADA covered disability.

Sounds like you are in a pretty tough spot. Sorry.\n\nI don't know what state you live in, but it may have State Disability Insurance. Even if you don't qualify for S.S.I. you may qualify for Social Security Disability (S.S.D.) or if that doesn't pan out.\n\nThere is probably a good chance your state has Disability Insurance, and you need to apply for that A.S.A.P.\n\nYou need to contact both agencies.  Social Security and your State Disability agency.  Try to find someone who has been thru the system.  Because a lot of times, the good people who work at these places don't tell you a lot of stuff that might help you get on disability insurance.\n\nI'd also do a Google search on the topic, it might include information that would be useful.\n\n               Good Luck!

It depends if you are waiting on an answer from the Disability Determination Services arm of Social Security or from a private company determining disability for short or long term disability for employment. \n\nThey might also be gathering new information to research. If you have any new medical claims, be sure to make copies and send them.

yes,you may. however there is a monthly $$ limit, and you must advise Social security when you start working.  After a period of time (e.g. 6 mos), they will reevaluate your case to see if you still qualify as disabled.  Call social security to verify limits beforehand. If you go over the limit your allowed, you then owe them $2 for every  $1 over.

You will absolutely not qualify for Social Security disability. \nI copied this from the social security website.\n\nDisability under Social Security for an adult is based on your inability to work because of a medical condition.  To be considered disabled:\n\nYou must be unable to do work you did before and we decide that you cannot adjust to other work because of a medical condition.\nYour disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.\n\n\n If you were injured while you were working you may be able to get workers comp.

You've qualified for the medical part, which means they have said that your disability is bad enough that you qualify for Social Security Disability. \n\nNow, they're going to look at your employment history to make sure that you've worked long enough in jobs that paid into the Social Security system to qualify for benefits.  Each year is split into 4 quarters, and if you earn enough money during that quarter, you earn a SS credit.  You have to have a certain number of credits to qualify to SSDI, depending upon your age.\n\nIf they find that you do not have enough credits for SSDI, they will consider you for SSI.  Since SSI is welfare (for those who haven't worked long enough to accumulate enough credits), they will look at your household income and your assets to determine if you get benefits.\n\nIf you've worked and have enough credits, you'll probably start getting benefits within a couple months.  \n\nI wouldn't go get a job right now, since you've qualified medically.  After you start getting benefits, if you get SSDI,  you can work and earn about $800 or so a month without losing your benefits.  If you get SSI, you can't work and still get the benefits because it is welfare.\n\nGood luck!

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.

Have you thought about filing for Social Security Disability?  And then I would also contact you county health and social services department.  They may be able to get you on your state medicaid program.\n\nI have Lupus and APS....it isn't fun.  So far I haven't been in the hospital this year.  First time in a long time.

Legally it is NOT considered a disability. But once you begin to suffer many of the effects (neuropathy, amputations, blindness, etc.) then those are considered disabilities.

I'm really not sure if it is considered a disability.  I know in Wisconsin where I live it isn't considered a disability but I would check with your local Social Security office.  I do know you have to prove that you can't work and will need a lot of medical proof as well backing you up.

According to EOE "Equal Opportunity Employment", yes you can.  Of course I wouldn't recommend certain disabilities w/ certain jobs.  For instance (AND I'm not being mean)...I don't think if you're in a wheelchair that they'll hire you as a waiter/waitress.
