Re: work and accomodations

[Guest guest]

Hi

I live in Kentucky and worked for the state at our local Protection & Permanency

office. I worked with adult and child abuse cases. When my health made it

necessary to request work accomodations I went

through the steps involved. It took several months for the state to decide they

could not accomodate me.

By the time a decision was reached I had been on FMLA for two months. Now, the

SSA had denied me twice on my SSDI. My employer was not understanding and really

didn't care. Each time I would attempt to discuss accomodations with my

supervisor his response was

" can't you get disability " or " have you thought about another job " . Not very

comforting. Good luck.
