I have a slight disability but not registered disabled.?

I think a lot of people are in this same boat with you, including me. If "many" GPs have said you're not disabled "enough", I don't think it's in your best interests to keep fighting for SSI or for an offical "disabled" registration. Some lawyers might promise you they can help, but I wouldn't try it. Any benefits you got wouldn't be enough to live on once the lawyer took his cut.

I'm glad you are working. Employers are required to offer you reasonable accommodation for a disability, whether you have an "official registration" or not. For example, they must be willing to work around your schedule to some extent, allow you longer breaks if needed, things like that. Make sure you are not being punished at work for things you can't control because of your health problems.

There are some other benefits you can get without being registered disabled, such as lower or free transit fares, and some private institutions that help the disabled (i.e., not government-controlled) do not require any kind of official label or registration. These would include churches, arthritis foundation, things like that. If there is a title for your diagnosis you might look into seeing if there is an organization for it - they might have help and resources for you.

I am the same, although I've never asked the doc to specifically think about registering me.

I just get on with life.

disability is any long term illness that impares a normal way of life. This has been tested in court and recently seen to include illness such as cancer.

Therea re many people that are down on strength, they get no with it. I have no use of both my hands, but I'm not bothered about registering. I would LOVE to have the use of 2 reduced-strength hands.

Do you know how hard it is to register for disability. My brother was 6 months old and had a bowel operation that left a lot of nasty problems including 24 hours of screaming non stop, plenty of bandages, blood and trips to the hospital. He was on a nebuliser and an entire pharmacy of drugs and yet he still wasn't 'severe' enough to get disability. Then they gave it him the day he had the operation said his problem was fixed and took it off him. So my mom had to deal with all the bills and problems on her own.

I have the same problem Ihave pain in most of my joints and sometimes very severe. Iv'e applied for disability and been refused I walk from the back of car parks in exstreem pain and then see people in disabled spaces with badges who walk around as if there is nothing wrong with them It's one law for some and one law for another. Maybe paint your face black would help and tell a pack of lies

I think that you should register, a lot of people who have less severe disabilities register

Best of Luck

Apply for Disability now. You just might find that you are awarded something. Talk to someone at theCAB, as they have advisers who specialise in benefits.

Stay with your present job and earn your money. If you're doing a clerical or other sedintary type of job then you don't need to be physically strong or fit. You are perfectly capable of doing any non-physical work, so just get on with it, instead of looking for ways to get out of work and sponge money off the state.

see a new doctor and go to the dhss and talk too as many people in a place that you think can help you.

Those parking passes are sweet. Right up front, every time.

you should register you might be able to get help.
