I went to take my DOT Physical (my DOT card expired while I was off) and I was denied du to the fact that I started taking a once-a-day insulin shot to help control my diabetes.[B] I was told by my center manager that I am a driver and if I can't drive I can't work (alluding to no work inside either)[/B] I have been trying to get back to work inside so I can get my Benefits reinstated (my benefits were denied 6 months into my 9 month leave). Neither my center manager or my Teamster rep know what to do.
