Need to talk to a disability lawyer / disability attorney? Disabled due to mesothelioma / asbestosis, vioxx, celebrex, bextra, or an accident covered by workers compensation insurance? Try Legal Match to find a lawyer / law firm to get a disability or employment attorney to represent your rights in a court of law.

You are in the middle of learning about your illness/disease, and you are struggling with how best to communicate with everyone who wants to know what is going on with you.

If you are disabled due to an illness and/or disease, you probably know how hard it is to communicate all about your symptoms within the limited time you have with your Doctor(s) (usually no longer than 15 minutes per visit).

Your family wants to know what’s going on with you, how you will be impacted, and what they can do to help. You are still working, but having a hard time with your job. How best to communicate your symptom impairments to your Employer?

Perhaps you need to get an attorney / lawyer involved in your case; you have been struggling with the legal “red tape” for years and cannot get the Insurance companies, the state and/or the Federal government to help. How can you communicate years of information to your Attorney?

The Disabilitykey Workbook contains step-by-step guidelines to assist you in your legal & medical communications. By following the steps contained therein, you should be better prepared to:

Maximize your time in talking to your Doctor(s) about your symptoms, and their impacts on your daily “activities”.

Better communicate with family and friends about your symptoms, their impacts on your daily life, and how best they can help you help yourself.

Better communicate with your Employer about how your symptoms impact the functions of your job & the relevant ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) issues.

Effectively document your symptoms and their impact on your Normal Daily Living (NDL) should you be in the process of applying for Long Term Disability (LTD) and/or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) / SSI.

SHORT TERM DISABILITY (STD) AND LONG TERM DISABLITY (LTD)

You have just been diagnosed with an illness; you have looked at your company benefits, and find out that you have short term disability and long term disability. BUT:

Do you know what triggers eligibility for short term disability and/or long term disability (a hint: it is NOT an illness or an injury)? What triggers STD and LTD eligibility is a loss of pay caused by symptom impairments from an illness or injury (non work-related)!

Do you know what is meant by “symptom impairment from an illness or injury? It is not just saying “I have Multiple Sclerosis”. What is necessary is to list your symptoms, and to show how those symptoms keep you from doing the “essential duties” of your job.

Do you know what the “essential duties of your job” are? They should be outlined in your Job Description. However, most folks do not have an accurate job description. Where will you get help in identifying these essential duties? Do you need to get a lawyer involved?

You read the information about your short term disability and long term disability insurance coverage, and you notice the term “elimination period”. What is this? How does it impact you? It means that, even if you do qualify for the insurance, you will not be paid for the timeframe called “elimination period”. What are the legal implication? And, how do you get paid?

You read on about long term disability and see that, even if you qualify, you will receive compensation for only one year (usually) if you are not able to perform your “own occupation”. After that, you will have to go back to work unless you can prove that you cannot perform work in “any occupation”. How can you do this?
