Hey everyone! New here 😊 I’m in the USA and recently had to stop working about 7 weeks ago. My neurologist is suggesting signing up for disability. Anyone have any insight!? I’m nervous and have been told it’s a long process! TIA 🫶🏼

I'm too the point where I cant stay on my feet long at work. I'm having mobility issues and I'm constantly tired and fatigued. I need guidance and advice on how I can acquire disability perhaps, and what options I have.

Disability is a challenge!

Shortly after my diagnosis, I had to make a decision, whether or not I wanted to continue, try working, or apply for disability and see what happened. I made the decision to continue working, it was extremely hard, trying to do jobs as a disabled man. Constantly trying to figure out creative ways to...
