I am 24 and have Central Spinal Stenosis. Causing me not to be able to stand for more than 15 minutes, not to life more than 10 pounds, and numbness in my entire right leg. My doctor refuses to put me on disability, but also refuses to clear me to go back to work, therefore I lost my job. What do I do, and how do I know if I qualify?
I have a 23 year old son that has been out of work for over a year. He is a slow leaner and has difficulty following instructions and counting money. When he did work he could not even spell simple words or names. To this day it is hard for him to fill out an application without help. Supporting him is starting to become a burden for my 66 year old husband who is the only one with income to pay bills. Is there any way my son can claim social security??
I am a 60 year old single woman who has just been diagnosed with lung cancer. I do work full time, however am on a very low income. I have used up all of my vacation/ sick time due to doctor appointments and tests. I am to start treatment soon, but very worried about my home and other bills, especially medical bills. Would I be eligiable for early social security benefits/disability insurance?
Thank you
I HAVE BEEN WITH MY COMPANY FOR 23 YEARS AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DIAG WITH ALS. IT IS BULBAR ALS AND IS AFFECTING MY SPEECH AND THROAT MORE ACTIVELY THAT MY MUSCLES. UNFORTUNTLY, MY POSITION AS A MANAGER IS ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION. I CAN'T DO MY JOB IF I CAN'T COMMUNICATE/
My husband has had a stroke, 3 weeks ago, this has affected his left side, he has limited strength. He also suffers from memory loss. Our doctor states he can not work at this time, he is in construction. So he does not get paid unless he works. Prior to that he was a tug boat captain. Does he qualify for disability? How does one go about appling for assistance. Without his income we will lose our home.
I was released from work two months ago due to work restrictions because of my back. I was placed on STD and have been in chiropractic care, physical therapy and received an epidural injection, and then oral steroids and pain meds. Nothing is working and I can barely walk and am in incredible pain. I don't know when I can return to work, even if I can, I can't sit or stand for any length of time. My 12 weeks of STD are up and I am trying to start the case for LTD to be open. I am losing alot of money by only being paid 60% and then copay's make this amount even less.
Why must I have to stop work or be out of work for 12 months in order to apply for disability?
I have 2-3 hemiparetic migraines a year which leaves me with Weakeness on my right side for 4 weeks post migraine and also have Antiphospholipid Syndrome. Would I qualify for disability?
how hard is it to qualify due to my vision issues? Is there a certain form I can take to my doctor to fill out?
I am 55 and was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa with hearing loss at 50. I have hearing aids. I feel that my vision is ok during the day, but there are times when I trip over things or bump into people/objects, which I have learned to move alittle slower now. Also, was advised by doctor to not drive at night. As a manager, I am required to have open availability and work any shifts. I do drive, (against doctors wishes to drive at night)... but if it rains at night, I struggle terribly, since the rain causes such glare and everything is so much harder to see.
