Re: [TMIC] Working With a Disability in California
Hi Barbara A, You are so RIGHT. I too have LTD that makes it hard for me to even think about going back to work. Thank you for reminding us, who does have LTD and what it would do if we did go back to work. Todd in CC, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Todd, This would and could really mess up my LTD insurance from my employer though. Everybody needs to know how their disability insurance from their employer works if they are going to try to return to work. In my case, if I were to try to return to work, and worked for a short time, then not be able to continue, I would lose my LTD disability benefits. This is true even on a part-time basis. If I were to ever try to get another job at a later date and attempt to get LTD coverage again, I would then also have a pre-existing condition. This is true even with the same company. If I ever returned and left due to not being able to work, my same company would never hire me back. But, they'd sure love to get me off of their disability payment role. I'm costing them too much money, and will continue until I am capable of working full-time or reach age 65. This has nothing to do with SSDI or SSI, however, it is very important to know. Please review your documentation if you do not already know the ins and outs of your plan. Hugs, Barbara A - See what's free at AOL.com.
Re: [TMIC] LTD
So, it looks like I have missed out on a whole debate/conversation on something called TDI insurance. Why do some persons talk half on the List and half on their private email addresses? It makes someone like me curious as to what y'all are discussing, and I would so like to have access to the whole conversation.

Re: [TMIC] double vision and dancing eyes...
If, by bouncing vision you mean that after reading one line of print, then trying to move on to the next sentence and find your eyes bouncing back up to the words you just read, then I have had the problem since the onset with TM and although my eyesight has deteriorated to the point where the prescription has changed on my glasses, my optometrist says nothing else of importance is wrong. Now, my line-up of physicians keep saying, one and all-without fail, that it is the plethora of medication that I put into my system on a daily basis that is the reason I cannot read like I used to. I don't know who to believe, but two things are true...I didn't have TM before I got TM, and I didn't then take the mess o' medications that I take now. peace and Prayers, Jude 2 Corinthians 4:17 ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Re: [TMIC] Working With a Disability in California
Hi Todd, If I were to get strong enough to know that I were able to make the transition back to work, it would be great. I certainly would be able to make more money than I do on disability and would feel much more productive. It's really difficult when you know though that you would be making a huge mistake if you are jeopardizing your finances if you fail. To know that your income could seize from your disability and I am not sure of how it would work with SSDI. Not sure about the posibility of having to reapply and get re-approved. I certainly hope that there aren't any people in our group that are making this mistake and getting themselves in this kind of trouble. My eight year anniversary with TM is 6/1/07, so I don't think I'm going to be getting strong enough to get back to work now.
