Yes, as far as I know, disability means you are unable to work. When you apply

for SSD, they decide how much you'll get based on past earnings. Depending on

what job you have, there are other types of disability, like short-term,

long-term, etc. My husband had a workmen's comp injury to his knee a couple

years ago. His surgeon declared him 5% permanently disabled in his knee which

awarded him a nice cash settlement at the end of the whole ordeal. Too bad it

can't work that way with FM.

A dumb question--- about disability

Hey guys,

I think I understand correctly when I say you cannot be working currently and

apply for any kind of disability. Am I right? Just curious. I thought that was

the way it works.

Thanks,
