MEDS CHANGE & SSD DENIAL

Good Morning Y'all,
I met with my doctor last week to switch my meds to a medication with a longer half-life and it seems to be doing the trick. I hope that with better meds and the physical therapy I am doing and will be doing for a while that I can get to a better place and not be living in a level 7 every day (with meds).

SSD:
I work to survive financially, I met with an attorney and he bluntly said we cannot file anything unless I am not working. I am stuck, we've got medical bills and debt piling up and I have to work at this part of our life. I use to make more money in my old job with better hours but I was let go last year. I was offered a job at my friends dads company and working 8 hrs straight with no naps no down time is killing me. My husband thinks that if we get the physical therapy in me and keep doing some form of it for a while that I will get to a better working place but I am scared. I don't know what to do and I thought y'all might offer some advice as to what to do.

I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING :)

With SSD in order to be entitled to it you have to be considered disabled, meaning no work. I do not know what type of work you are doing, if they offer any type of short term disability & long term disability or not. In order to be entitled to any of the above you have to have your dr stating you are physically unable to work. Off of the top of my head, this is the only things I know of that will pay while unable to work. SSD is very hard for most to get & can take up to 2 yrs to go through the entire process.

Other than finding work that is not so demanding I am out of ideas. If you quit your job that would knock you out of unemployment. When filing for unemployment you are stating that you are capable of working. So, maybe start looking for a different type of work. Good luck.

It is more than not being aboe to do your current or previus job. If you're under 50, you must prove that you can't perform SGA, which ia making at least $1,090 a month in 2015 doing jobs in the national economy. If you're over 50, you must prove that you have no transferable skiils that you can make $1,090 doing.
