Thank you for *your* quick response.

I'm glad to hear that you're doing what you can. Seems like HR does not have *you* as their priority - only the paperwork that is completed properly and in on time. I worked for a huge company myself, so I know what it's like. I've also been through where you are - off work on disability (short term disability). Does HR take the initiative to call your pdoc or you to let you/him know that paperwork hasn't arrived?

I can certainly understand your anxiety, and, given what has happened, it's warrented. You don't want anything more to happen and fall through the cracks.

I also understand your apprehension of the possibility of returning to work. When I was off, my pdoc told me I have to go back, I objected, and made a fuss. In the end, after talking to my lawyer, he changed his mind and recommended that I NOT go back to work, at least not back to that company.

Would it work if you work in a different department?
