Clarification Please

[Old 5311]

My VA doctor has recommended unimployability. I am still working but I need to know if I can file for UI while working. I don't want to be homeless again. I'M 62, 80% with spouse and 17y/o son at home. Anyone with advice out there? Does 80% =100% when unimployable? My SO is too busy to bug very often, a great guy but maybe someone here has the answer. He is also urging me to file UI.

You are appreciated.

Check with your employer. Do they have a benefit of a Long term disability insurance plan. The Doc says to quit working. IF your employer has LTD, then you can go out on Medical disability. The VA doctor who says you cannot continue to work will need to fill out the required forms. This is just a suggestion but if it is the case you will have income coming in.

Thanks, good thoughts to consider.
