[QUOTE="Junkguy, post: 1274754, member: 47368"] You need a good lawyer. He should be able to get your Long Term Disability or your WC started while you wait. If the WC doc said you were disabled that's good news for the short-term. I would go to another doctor and not wait on SS to send you to theirs. With enough info they will probably forgo their own doc. You should be eligible for a WC disability will pay much better than the normal SSD. Plus you will be eligible for your teamster pension if you have 10 years of credit. Not the full amount but the amount you have accumulated to date. You are in for a long haul, I feel for you. Do not settle with UPS until everyone has looked it over. It's tempting to take some cash when you're broke but your family will need everything you can get for them. Fortunately I was able to retire (25 and out) before I attempted back surgery which may have been the worst move I ever made. I truly feel for you. Hang tough. [/QUOTE]
