Struggling to Get Disability Accommodation at Work

my job recently said that even tho I've been using a wheelchair at work for over a month and a half all of a sudden i need to get approval for that accomodation and they're not letting me work until i get documentation from a dr saying that i do in fact need it and I've spent the last 2 weeks having 3 different Drs tell me they can't do it and sending me on circles and I'm seeing another Dr today and really hoping they can do it because i can't afford to keep seeing Drs especially if i can't work and i can't afford to lose this job and I'm so burned out I'm so tired of all of this i could barely get myself to take a shower this morning but if i don't see this Dr today I'm not gonna be able to get in with them until January

I don't see why you cannot get approval.. have you tried virtual visits through cleveland clinic? They seem to usually be on my side when I go there.. I'm sorry about this rough time you are going through.

Also get an employee handbook and make them state where it is necessary to have approval for your accommodation bc I'm pretty sure it's against ADA.
