I have been on short term disability thru my employer since December 1st. It is due to expire June 1st. I have been seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, panic attacks and agoraphobia. I also have asthma which triggers a lot of attacks. What should I apply for (ex. SSI, SSD, etc.) I am not clear as to what the differences are and all that I can apply for. I do not see myself being able to return to work for quite a while, if at all. I can not drive due to this, nor can I go into certain places, deal with a lot of stress, certain lighting affects me, I can't concentrate, focus or remember a lot. Are my chances for approval for SSI and/or SSD higher because I was approved for short term disability originally? What steps should I take? Thank you!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
