And could anyone keep working while they filed for disability? I make abut $70,000 a year and I love my job...Don't know what to do...I need to take care of myself...Has anyone kept working while they applied for disability or do I have to be out of a job for a period of time before I can file?

You're not disabled if you're working. That is their view.

if your disabled and get approved, for that much money, they wont approve you unless you leave your job. they are very strict and ssi disability is just that, that you are disabled, period. good luck

due to the fact that you have to not be working to apply for disability, I have recently enrolled in short and long term disability through my work to help out when I do end up being off of work due my MS.

Check with your local Social Security Office. God bless. I know I had to quit my job (really my job quit me)because of the limitations my doctor had told me I had. I was use to working up to 70 hours a week and going all the time to almost a complete stop. But I don't MS get me down, me and God take it one day at a time
