30 years med/surg RN, worked as Charge in my hospitals first COVID unit, May 2020 until July when more areas were set up in hospital. Physically and psychologically exhausting, heartbreaking. I tested posative Oct 2021, the hospital says I couldn't have gotten exposure at work as we all used PPE. So no workman's comp. There are still non-believers and those who just forgot. We can't, we live it everyday.
My 401k is half gone, I work minimum wage. I am only 56.
Attempted SSI on my own, lost being told I can find employment for 1900.00 a month, yeah, sure.
I am going to try your way and find a LC SSI Lawyer. Thank you so much.

Praying for you, my friend. Lord have mercy.

I feel ya, no one remembers and covid is no longer given the respect it is due for the damage it did to us health care heroes.

Fellow ex nurse here whose life has been turned upside down with long covid since 2021. I got social security disability and I used a firm called Allsup. They were in an article speaking about patients with long covid and getting disability. They were a godsend. Everything was handled email/phone. I pray they can help you too. The world fails to realize the deep impact Covid has had on frontline workers all over the world. Good luck
