That's fucking stupid. Disability shouldn't depend on what you make, especially since you've been paying taxes on it.
Sorry to hear that OP. |

Get a lawyer. But I think these are designed to be emergency services and since you make plenty by there standards there is no need. I have known people to divorce and the spouse rent a room so as to solve this problem. I have three part time employees that work there own schedule due to health issues. They don'tmake what they did but there quality of life is better. Start looking for a better employer. Also money isn't everything. Quality of life and family is. Good luck. What part of TX? |

I had to sue..
cost me $30K out of the initial pay out of 3 years back payment.. had California, Wisconson and then Texas surgeons say the issue was unfixable. I was well over 50 and not likely be able to retrain in to a career that would pay me as much as social security was going to pay or any where near the amount of salary I was earning at the time the last surgery was a NO GO..trust me, I'd rather be working and certainly rather have the $100K+ I was earning..than where I am now..but you can't do, what you cant do. hell, Ive even volunteered to work for fed guy 20 hours a week to "earn my keep" they laughed at me..  .

Get an SSDI attorney.
They will grab $6,000 of the disability after it is approved. If they take a long time for approval there may be enough 'back payments' to the qualification date to easily pay the attorney. It depends on earning history that was subject to FICA withholding. Employer sponsored disability is (for all intents) so hard to obtain you have to be practically nearly on life support. At least SSDI will pay you based on what what income you paid over the years when you cannot hold ANY job. Ask a disabled person in Texas who they used. Without an attorney it is nearly assured SSDI will turn you down the first time. You then do 'reconsideration' and after that may still have to go through administrative courts. |

Does your wife have short or long-term disability insurance through her job? I do and it did pay out when I was hospitalized a few years ago.
If she does have coverage and they're raising a fuss has she tried going to her HR department? |

She went in at 0730.   |

Quoted: she is 52 and has several significant medical problems that are not reversible. She has worked w-2 wise since coming off the farm at 18 years old. Works sixty plus hours a week now but it is destroying her. She's been told she will now work six days a week.on call everyday Can't go to MD appointments,goes to work sick constantly. Febrile diarrhea, weak. She applied a few years ago at her doc's insistence. She told me she was denied due to my income. When the doc found out she was denied he said he could do surgery for one of her problems but might not help her 30 percent chance of improvement. Didn't help. Guy is great surgeon. Not his fault. I make good money so I suspect applying will be a waste of time. She's paid in for decades, shouldn't matter what I make. Any advice appreciated. If your wife suffers from severe back pain and your avatar is any indication, there may be a solution for that problem.  |

I have had MS for 28 years now and am 56 years old. Still walking at least. Good luck. It is a goat rope. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We really need some more details here. Would any of these problems resolve or improve if she were to cut back to 20-30 hours a week or change jobs? I'm not suggesting that this is a cure-all, but more info would be nice (at least to the extent that you feel comfortable sharing).

But, eventually, she will have to face it However, if things get worse she will have to reassess She has big boobs since she was a girl But not that big. |

It is an 'accommodation' under ADA. If the doctors will sign off on the application hire a disability attorney and get started. Good luck. |
