I've been thinking a lot lately about disability. I was diagnosed a little over 2 years ago. Right from the beginning I've had cognitive problems which are continuing to get worse. It's scary the things I forget or things I say or do. I'm working full time as a P&C Insurance Agent in a fast paced office. The mistakes I'm making are just not acceptable and I don't know what to do about it. My employer is aware of some of them but not all.
My employer also offers long term disability but no short term.
A few questions:
1. What should I be doing to build a possible case for disability?
2. Why does it take so long to get approved?
3. Would I be able to apply for disability while on long term disablity with my employer?
4. I'm a single mother and if I have to stop working for any amount of time before getting any benefits I won't make it. I don't know what to do.
Any advice, direction, whatever...would be so appreciated. Thank you.
