Claim For Disability Benefits

[jusus27360]

I'm submitting my claim for unemployable, do I.have to submit that 21-4192 to my last employer? The reason I asked is that I was terminated from my job, after I left I was approved for ssi. There is a workers comp suit pending about this case. I would rather not send anything to them if you think the ssi will help my case. Any thoughts will be helpful.

Anything that will help your claim should be sent. I think a Worker comp claim would be detrimental to your case. Do you get SSI or SSDI?? jmo

I.could no longer do a lot of my job description , they had to put ramps on the vans which I was told "because of you we had to spend some money" on a daily bases, then the doctor tighten up on the physical side an said no lifting over five pounds, no prolong sitting, standing or stooping on my job, which was the recreation field. The next thing I knew I was terminated for using the city credit card which I got permission but my supervisor said he didn't say that. I have a real dislike for those folks!

Did you file an EEOC disability discrimination claim?

EEOC disability discrimination claims can be tough to win, but might be well worth it. Keep in mind that the amount of time it takes to get an EEOC claim through the system can rival a VA claim. Sometimes they do come down to "I said" vs. "they said" situations.
