Filed for disability due to stress on the job may cause a flare which may place myself or my crew members in danger. More stress working for the disability then the job was, caused a severe flare. Any one gone through the same?

Well, I just applied for it; except for a knee surgery so it's short term disability. It is very stressful, and since I'm from California it looks as though the waiting time is going to be even worse because of the furlough Fridays and the folks working slower than normal because of the cuts. I'm sorry you are dealing with this. How long has it been since you applied? Isn't the paperwork awful?

Just started week before Thanksgiven's , Spoke with the GI today they are worried that if I dont get things under control with the Colitis flare I may need to spend a few days in the hospital, I say put the I V in me show me and family how to flush and the fliuds or drugs ourself here at home. Lead doc thinks that might be possible if I stay in the bed or chair, i tell them I see you at the hospital, then also today truck battery dead, it rains it pours.

I'm in Indiana and was very lucky to get approved plus my Dr. must of said all the right things as it only took me 5 1/2 weeks for my disability to come thru...I was shocked as everyone said I would never get it.  And they even called me on a Saturday to tell me,  when I saw it was the SS ofc. I thought it would be a recording saying "Too bad so sad"  but instead it was my caseworker calling.

Congrads on that, your right you would think people would be a bit more understanding if they only know, at least educate yourself before you make your opinion heard.
