Even when I think the circumstances, facts, opinions and proof, merit granting disability to a person under SSDIB, SSI, LTD or WComp, I am always alarmed when people say they "have earned" the right to disability.
A word of advice to any one struggling with physical or mental health conditions that are making it difficult for them to work, find employment or support themselves--never tell the doctor, judge or anyone you earned disability.
You don't earn it, you are forced into it by circumstances beyond your control. Even if true--that you earned it--if that is your attitude, it's wrong headed thinking and it communicates the wrong message.
