12. As long as he is still working

He will not be approved for SSDI.

Any lawyer out there will tell you that.

If he is let go or fired he should file.

If he is put out on any form of disability, be it temporary, etc. it will strengthen his chance to be approved but is still no guarantee.

You can't have it both ways, especially when you are claiming to be 100% disabled.



On edit: eyesight sux & sorry for the edits. Should I just give up or what?
