How does one get the ball rolling on a long term disability plan provided by my employer.  (not social security) I am frightened that I am going to get fired. Who do I talk to before deciding to take advantage of it? What are the steps?


Things have gotten alot worse for me in the last couple of years.

I have been treated for major depression non psychotic or atypical depression for 21 years.

As I approach age 57 I find that my short term memory is failing much more often. I put things down, and cant remember where. At work I need to keep two windows open- one which shows simple data I need for another window..I .used to be able to switch windows while holding the data in my memory.

Now it seems I cannot write a sentence without missing a word or substituting a like sounding word with an entirely different meaning. I am under great stress 24/7 and not getting good sleep.

of course, I am working with doc but nothing is helping.Maybe I should get a neurocognitive evaluation?  Who do I talk to before I get fired? How do I start the discussion? What are the steps?
