That note stating you have a disability, no matter how mild, will help.  You will still have to fill out lots of paperwork at the disability office in Quebec and give them a copy of that note.  They may even need to doctor to fill out additional paperwork.

Yes, you do qualify.  Follow this link (to read it you'll need Adobe Reader which is free to download) and scroll down to Table 10.3 which lists all the benefits you can access.\n\nhttp://www.dwp.gov.uk/asd/asd5/rports2003-2004/rport206/Main-3.pdf\n\nOr contact a local advice agency such as your Council's social services or a Citizens Advice Bureau.

in the uk you are covered by the "Disability Discrimination Act.I dont know about the states.But the date on the paper would cover you.seek legal advice as can't give full advice as only got snippets of your story.But as long as your employer was aware of the facts, he/she should be reasonable.

the best place to get that infomation is from organisations that help support disabled people and their carers - try asking your or their doctor about who to contact.

Contact your local SSA (Social Security Administration) office. Tell them you need to sign up for SSD (Social Security for the Disabled). Depending on what state you live in, you may have to call your local Medicaid office and sign up for a program called MAD (Medicaid for the Aged & Disabled). There is a lot of paperwork, and this usually takes a long time before you see any benefits, but be patient. Good Luck!

You can get the booklets and FAQ's but I dont think you can get the actual forms. I think you need to go to your local JobCentre Plus to do the form filling:\nhttp://www.direct.gov.uk/Bfsl1/BenefitsAndFinancialSupport/Ill_or_injured/fs/en

Housing Benefit is means tested and as you say you are cohabiting your income will be taken into account in full for the purposes of calculating any Housing Benefit you may be entitled to.  As you say you cannot afford to pay the rent yourself, you may still be entitled to some Housing Benefit so it is probably a good idea for your partner to claim anyway.  You may also wish to check whether your partner is entitled to Contractual Sick Pay from his employer, or failing that, he is likely to be entitled to Statutory Sick Pay.  Other sickness/disability benefits may be available depending on your partners health.  Best of luck.

You can apply for SSDI (Social Security Disability) or SSI (Supplemental Security Income) by going to www.ssa.gov and filling out the application. In addition some states will give additional income to people who qualify for SSDI or SSI. You will probably need a lawyer to win your case, but the lawyers who take these cases will not charge you unless you win your case. If you are denied benefits on your first request, your lawyer will appeal it for you. If and when you win your case, your disibility lawyer will be paid a small percent out of your first initial lump sum payment. Make sure the lawyer you choose has experience in ss disibility law. Do not pay anyone for this service up front. Some of these lawyers advertise on tv. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book. You can also type www.socialsecurity and you might find a lawyer on one of those entries.
