Somebody, please just shoot me.

I am allegedly on California State Disability due to my pronounced Chronic Asthma. Allegedly.

See, despite have a notification of reward, I've yet to get a payment. . . six weeks after I filed. Today, I called.

My doctor failed to fill out one question. About when my disability was expected to end. The other sixty-odd questions confirming that I am sick, cannot perform my usual duties, am under ongoing care, yadda, yadda, yadda were all filled out with proper medical codes and notes. The state believes that I'm too sick to work. But they're not paying me.

Because my doctor didn't tell them when I'd be better.

Know why he did that?

WE HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE IF I'M GOING TO GET BETTER!

Now I have to wait for this SNAFU to unravel. Email has been dropped to my doctor. I swear, if this paperwork is caught in the Sixth Circle of Hell (aka the Medical Secretaries Office) I will go off.

And I thought my university waiting on their own transcript for two weeks was bad!

Can you at least get some of the missing weeks paid to you eventually?

IIRC, the time he needs to fill out is the max time for short term (state) disability, and if it will go over that, start the paperwork for long term SSDI. But I'm not sure, you'd need to ask someone who's been through the meatgrinder directly.

Sounds like when I tried to get a diasabled placard for my father, whose terminal cancer and subsequent treatments made him very weak and barely able to walk. The DMV wanted to know when his disability would expire. I told them, when he does!
