What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania.I am a corrections officer. I had a large tumor removed from my lumbar spine followed by a second reconstructive surgery. It has impacted my life and I have had to change My lifestyle and such. I currently drive 50 mile one way to work. My Doctor reccomends I be transfered to an institution closer to my home.There is a institution 6 mile from my home. The Pa Dept of corrections refuses to grant my transfer even though the closer institution is actively hiring and has positions available . I have sent all documentation including a letter from the Doctor. My Question is Am I considered disabled or to have a disability? If so do I fall under ada .
