> I can't remember what the basic amount is, it is around $575. If you cannot work due to disability (physical or mental) your doctor fills out a form so that you can receive around $850 a month. Even though I have mental illness, I never had my doctor fill out he form because I am able to work. I didn't want to go on disability because I don't see myself as such.**********************************************
For your information, it's 582 $ for someone who can work...
For the medical report fill out by the Doc, it'S only a temporary situation, that's not a permanent situation that's why they only approve medical report for short period of 3-4-5 months... and the money allow for temporary disability is only 582 $ (basic wellfare) + 118 $ (Temporary disibality).
Peoples with diseases who are permanent, mean that can't be heal or degenerative diseases receive the full disability wellfare plan who is around 850 $...
I also didn't wanted to go on the disability at first, but sometimes we have no choice and I think I felt guilty, frustrated and I felt shame A LOT when I first go in disability... But I learn to accept my life now... In my family, being on the wellfare is something unacceptable, i'm the first one to be disable from work... that was hard for me at first to hear bad comments from my own family... after I hear bad comments from peoples around me (friends and others peoples that I meet...)... anyway...
