Disability

Has anybody here gotten disability for Panic Disorder?

My PD has been so severe that I have not really been able to work. I have burned all my leave, FMLA, and am on Leave without pay. I am not sure how much longer I can last without an income or little income.

Hello Hera

I have been trying for over a year and a half to get disability for panicking. I am young so they believe I have every right to work. I'm not sure your age but if you do pursue getting disability, I'd prepare for a long process and a lot of fighting for yourself and standing up for yourself.

Are you in the US?

Yes.

I was on disability through my work when I got sick. Of course that company wanted SSDI to pay some of the way.

So I applied and was denied. Then applied again and got it.

It's all about paperwork. They want all the md and therapy documents.

Some people do use lawyers but honestly my brother did that when he needed heart surgery and the lawyer didn't do much at all and took a cut of the money.

It is a long stressful process.
