Are you guys ever applying for disability insurance, during the treatment period? I am not sure whether I can still work with the medication and surgery going on.
Plus I think I have to be unemployed for 12 months to apply for it. I also heard MAC alone will not make it. Any input? Thanks!

Yes, I did get 6 months of short term, but 2 weeks into long term I was terminated by Unum and to go back to my office job even without a Doctor's clearance. I did not return to work and my employer of 26 years "retired" me. My SSD has been pending for 9 months. I 'll soon be of retirement age and don't have the energy to fight it by hiring a lawyer.
