GOOD NEWS! Disability approved!

Thought I would share with you all the GREAT news I got today. The disability company who has taken 5+ months to make a decision called at 5pm to say I have  been approved!

What a relief. I had spent the day on the phone with attorneys and other consultants regarding protecting my ADA rights since it didn't look like my disability was going to be approved before Monday. No need for the long details just that I  am estastic the long wait is over.

This disability is provided by by company and is only for 2 years since it covers my disability only as it relates to my job description. After the 2 years it's the same as SSDI, unable to meet any job description.

My thanks to all of you for your congratulatory responses. It makes the disability even sweeter to have the support of everyone on the forum! Kinda like the icing on my chocolate cake that I ate on everyone's behalf. Don't worry...I consumed enough to cover a share for each of you :-)

Thanks also for all the Snoopy dances done on my behalf!

Hugs to all,

Ren
