Question
mariorivera830
Ok I'm in one hell of a spot right now folks. And I don't know what to do yet.
I went to work to ask for accommodation for my PTSD and sleep apnea. They asked for medical proof and I showed them my decision letter from a few months back.
Well that didn't go as planned. I was brought in to the papermill managers office and was told that I may be a hazard to myself and others. I've been there for the past 9 years and surprisingly, the company is being really supportive of my getting healthy. Aside from being let go, that is.
I was told that short term disability that will lead to either long term disability or social security is my best option. My main concern is health care for my wife and children. And the gap of income between now and approval of ssdi or ltd.
So, aside from the 6 hours it took me to stop feeling sorry for myself, this has all ive been thinking about. So any guidance anyone can provide would be super helpful.
Thanks and have a happy Thanksgiving.

Very sorry to hear about this. I completely agree that you should at least talk to two or three ADA lawyers and see if you have a case or not. I would talk to more than one lawyer, Because one might
