What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Last year I had a nervous breakdown. During that year I was seeing a private threrapist for depression and anxiety. During my employment I was very tardy for work due to my illness and was subsequently laid off. After my layoff I fell into a deep depression and could not get out of bed or function properly to maintain my bills, or personal upkeep. I then could not afford my therapist and went months without moving from my home. I eventually lost my home, my possessions and became homeless. Thankfully, I am a Veteran and began receiving care from the Veterans Administration. I have since been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder II, anxiety disorder, and PTSD. I am on medication and receiving proper psychiatric care. Now, that I am semi-functional and attempting to piece my life back I discovered that I was covered by group short and long term disabilty insurance. I am attempting to file for this based upon my diagnosis and illness that started during employment. Will I encounter any obstacles to this filing. I have oustanding therapist notes from my private therapist and from my attending psychologist and psychiatrist at the Veterans Adminstration. Any help before I file would be greatly benefitial!
thanks
