BEFORE GOING ON DISABILITY

Dealing with a severe or chronic medical condition can be one of life's "major traumas." It impacts far more than your health. It has an effect on your ability to work, your relations with others, even your personality and changes in how your friends and family perceive and interact with you.

Before you even begin to deal with benefits issues, dealing with your life as it changes to accommodate your condition provides its own hurdles to be overcome. Medical providers and caregivers rarely provide help in this area, yet there are decisions you need to make early in the process.

All of this "interference static" from your own feelings, finances, family, and work can really clutter up your ability to make rational, objective decisions. These initial chapters are designed to help with the questions that everyone needs to consider when facing disability.

These initial chapters, which are all free, are directed to people who are:

Newly diagnosed with a chronic or serious medical condition;
Considering leaving work due to disability, either for a brief period or indefinitely; or,
Having problems handling all the details that must be addressed when dealing with a medical condition.
