For those of you who have needed to stop working and get on disability, what's been your experience? Personally, I haven't been able to work since May of this year and don't foresee myself going back to work anytime soon (I'm a massage therapist). I've been on state disability since the beginning of...

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.

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...

Hello everyone, I have a few questions for my Canadian friends in GTA. Have you or anyone you know ever worked with CANADA BENEFIT GROUP???? Does it worth getting a lawyer for tax return benefits if you have worked on & off due to your health condition? They are asking for access to my CRA accou...

If you have multiple sclerosis or any other chronic or progressive degenerative disease, you must have disability insurance. Short-term medical disability is limited in time and will not cover you indefinitely. Still, it should help bridge the gap between earning a paycheck and being approved for So...

Disability is often misunderstood by the non-disabled, a.k.a. healthy segments of our society. More often than not, persons without disability perceive disability as something that is negative and undesired, although disabled people themselves do not necessarily share that belief. Disabled people w...

Hey 👋 I have applied for the Scottish adult disability payment. I completed the whole 89 pages 😓 took me a while but I got there maybe after 4-5 hours on and off and put myself into a pity party in the process 🥳 who knew it could spark anxiety further writing how everything makes you feel or what...

: there are many factors which can impact our personality. I find myself being an admirer of Alfred Adler and I admire his concept of The Question (which I explored in a previous post), but I am uncomfortable with the concept of birth order determining our personalities. Nevertheless, it is fascinat...

How do you support you family in coming to terms with your progression? I feel like I’ve had 24 years to come to terms with my MS, my daughter recently said to me it doesn’t just affect me. This has hit me quite bad, I feel really selfish and worried about my family.

Hi Does anybody know any reputable employment solicitors who deal with disability discrimination in Manchester England?

Does anyone know why people with epilepsy are entitled to a railcard but not people with MS? I don't get PIP and I do still drive but only short distances because of the fatigue, and I now get the train every 4 weeks for my infusion. Seems unfair that I can't at least get a discount 🙁

Hey friends! Just wondering if there is anyone from Canada who has gone through the process to leave work and collect disability payments? I’m trying to understand how it all works. The last episode I had in 2020 left me in pretty bad shape. I never regained feeling in my right arm/ shoulder and th...

I know most here are in the UK and the laws are different but has anyone (especially stateside) been able to get disability for the effects of MS on your cognitive functions; memory, concentration, etc.. ?

I retired in 2009 from Wall Street and went on disability because of the seizures. Luckily i had saved enough and we didn’t move neither did the kids move schools. We still traveled but here is the catch. Both of my twins ended up with scholarships to USC but they are having a very hard time as I...
