Struggling to Work with a Disability

I have also applied for it & i also got denied

It makes me so frustrated that you have to jump through so many hoops, just for someone to decide how disabled they think you are. I’ve been denied twice, both times because they decided there was substantial work I could still do; if that’s the case, please direct me to jobs that suit my needs, is what I want to say back. Unfortunately, I have three career counselors working with me, but have still not been able to find a position that will meet my qualifications. It really sucks, because I want to be able to do good work and not have to call off all the time when I’m in pain. But I’m just not getting good positions that don’t exacerbate symptoms. I second the above advice to find an attorney and appeal your denial; from what I’ve heard this is sometimes the only way for people to actually get on disability. Also, you’re going to want to have at least a doctor who can vouch for your symptoms. They want tangible evidence, like tests and diagnoses, because that matters more to them than our word. It’s bs, but it’s good to go into it knowing a little how the process works.

I got denied first time around you have to appeal and fight to get it

I can't even get a job, I can't make it thru interview. Yet with all my crap I'm not "disabled". I tried applying and got denied. So basically really on my husband's income for a family of 5. So I'm a stay at home mom. We are drowning without me working but I can't.. I just can't.

I just wish my work could understand that my limitation makes me different from my coworkers but not less than them. If I was in a wheelchair I feel like they would act like it's a personal grudge toward them that I couldn't walk or would need help getting things from the top shelf.
