This is good advice. If a person is disabled to due an emotional disorder or mental disorder and receiving SSDI I don't see how he/she can work unless he/she is in some kind of remission. If the disability is physical I guess it depends on the severity and how it effects your performance. I never disclose to anyone that I receive SSDI. I've learned my lesson several times after telling acquaintances, landlord, etc. I made a mistake of telling a person working in the pizza shop I frequent: she asked me if I worked nearby and I told her I didn't work and was on disability - it's freaked her and the owner out (her mother) and I'm uncomfortable every time I go in there.

I did work PT for several places when I was on SSDI in the 90's. I never told them that I was on SSDI. I eventually started working FT then back onto SSDI in 2004 after relapse.
