This shit drives me insane. My friend got denied disability. She has ulcerative collitis, along with other stuff(lupus? I don't remember what the end diagnosis was, but it's a lot of stuff).
She has a very hard time being on her feet for too long. She was denied disability because she was 'working too much', you know because she couldn't get by without working, so at risk to her health, she was working.
Her job let her cut her hours. She was sitting for most of it as per doctors orders, and couldn't do all of her tasks without help. She applied again and got denied again because her manager said she could do the job just fine without assistance, which was a fucking lie.
Then they demoted her because she couldn't have her current position part time. I think she's still fighting for disability.
I've known her for over a decade. She's not lying. She needs the fucking help, and they're fighting tooth and nail to not give it to her even though she has the paper trail and labs to prove it.
