I went to school as a disabled student and thankfully they were very
helpful at student loan and sent me my application immediately when I asked for it. I am on welfare and waiting to be approved for disability pension from the government. My health worker accidently forgot to add in my personal letter with my application and it was sent separate. How must at risk am I that it will not be read along with the application? They were sent priority on the same day (separately). I'm not sure how it will turn out. I'm praying and wishing! Legally I have a permanent disability and I qualify. I'm a bit concerned because my doctor said..."MAY return to work and school if treatment is successful".....are they going to read this and assume I will be cured?...I've lived with this illness for years and have never been successful with any treatments. Are they going to read it as if I will all of a sudden magically lose my disability? On what grounds would I be rejected? or...more positive---approved? thank you

You might want to try calling to see if in fact the two documents teamed up together at their destination. They should be able to tell you. Ask them for further guidance in this matter...(if the letter is not with the application what you can do..eg..resend...fax..etc.) Or maybe someone else has experience with this.... and will post later. Good Luck... if you are denied..find another doctor...that will recognize that you are permanently disabled. Most doctors are reluctant to write you off... if they have hope that you can do some type of job. There are organizations that help with retraining(at no cost I might add) to help enable disabled people re-enter the work force at suitable employment for their disability... your doctor may have been leaving the door open for this type of option... Not sure how it will read. My mom couldn't get disability.. but was eligible for retraining $$$. ------------- silence is a form of fear...fear of the unknown...has kept me silent too long |

The government's NSLSC interprets things in a manner that justifies their decision-making and best interest. If it can be dtemrined that you "can" be cured, then it is not a permanent disability in their view. If your disability is permanent but does not restrict you from acquiring employment, this is another hurdle to jump. Johnny

Send along a doctor's letter saying "my patient has had this condition since 19xx, has tried treatment A/B/C and D without response, and i expect her condition will not improve." For disability claims, Conditions have to be seriously incapacitating to one's working ability, and they need to be prolonged/permanent [congenital/long-term/irreversible/fatal].
(NB. Doctors know that multiple conditions means worse prognosis, too) |
