On Monday i will be examined by
disability committee after 2 years of
disability of 67%.
I’m a bit nervous.
Will I persuade them?

Maybe they will approve you for a longer time this time.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Do you have a report from your pdoc?

That always helps.

Most likely you’ll be alright.

My experience is that they care more about what the pdoc says than whatever you say in person.

Why don’t they give us
disability for life?
Do they expect some of us
will get better and won’t need disability?

Yes. Some cases can improve, whereas others can’t. As long they believe there is a chance on improvements they will keep inviting you.

That’s at least how it works here.

I would also like to be approved for life. But I’m too young and too functional.

In Trinidad you only get the disability grant if you have a permanent disability. So you only go before the board once. Otherwise you will apply for the other grant called social welfare grant which is if you are struggling financially or national insurance for those who have worked before and contributed.
