NCC/ Disability questions considering applying

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My husband and I are struggling to decide what I should do with myself and

working. Some days I might get there and work 2 hours and some days right now I

can't get into work, like today. It took 2 1/2 hours to get ready and then I

pulled out of the driveway and stopped because I had severe nausea and thought I

was going to throw up. I decided it wasn't worth it. Came back inside and

called and said, I wasn't coming in.

This has been going on for awhile and it's been just building. My husband asked

me today to think about applying for disability. I don't want to because I feel

like I have failed but I'm not sure he isn't right.

But can I even do that if I have been working even if my hours have been going

down each and every week? I have been reading that you have to have not worked

for over a year before applying. It seems as though I should be proactive

rather than waiting until its been so long out of work.

Thanks,again guys.

Hi Everyone,

I received several good responses to my post. Thank you very much. I am going

to at least investigate the possibility. It's very emotional for me so I will

be working on that part of it as well.

Thanks again. . . getting ready to go for a DEXA scan today. They tell me it's

painless, YAY!

That would not be true but you will need a functionl copacity test done by your

doctor not SSA they really have no clue about this condition and would probally

say there is nothing wrong with you as I found out the hard way a represenative

would help a lot. just my experiance with them but you do not have to wait a

year to apply just that it will last more then a year.
