I am on compassionate disability , they still tried to stone wall me , the judge had the last laugh on this one he not only agreed I was disabled , he ruled I was obviously fighting like hell to stay on the job , if they had not of stonewalled me it would have been cheaper on Social security because he ruled my date of disability was 2 years before I applied ( that is rare) but cost them an extra 2 years of back pay , the one thing to remember is attorneys have a field day on this (everyone is an expert at it even if they just got there degree) find a real expert someone who has been doing it for many years before it became an easy source of money ,they are the real experts who will protect and defend your interests. It's like my pain management Doctor who has been doing pain management for 40 years , long before it looked cool after your name and M.D , they can only collect a certain portion of your back pay if they win your case so a lousy lawyer is going to cost the same as a great one , so make sure you have the great one .
