I have sz and its been 11 years.
Is it good to apply for disability? or Not?
I read some where,
If one have sz you are suppose to get disability.
No questions asked.
I don’t understand why they give a range after a test conducted.
Its like I do better today and worse tomorrow. It fluctuates.
Please someone enlighten me.

I have no idea in your country, but here in the US there are LOTS of questions asked. It is a pain in the rear end to get disability and may take years.

That’s hard,
Here everything is made online,
only thing I had to do is visit the respective doctor,
which I did and he said I look all healthy.
My parents says not to go for it.
Even one of my friend said not to.
But I am not able to get my head around it.
Its not like I need it, if there is a door open,
Why not enter, Yeah there would be some conditions.
I remember some one saying “to gain some benefits, you also need to loose some”,
Is that true?
I had also been to a fellowship, after that my mind changed and started to work.
I think I am capable to work and live on my own.
Its just that I am finding it harder to hide this condition at work place.
I also searched for jobs with this condition, they say I need the disability certificate.
Its like a loop in deadlock situation.
I want disability but well my disability prevents me from filling out the paperwork and being patient and going through the process. So i have decided that im too disabled for disability so i have chosen to work starting in two months ! Break time! Haha is that a bad joke? Haha sorry. Maybe not well its funny well maybe not .

Well thats not a good joke its a little boring and not what it seemed. Well its also accurate though i dont particularly feel like doing all this annoying documents qnd interviews and everything. So its pushing me to keep taking a stab at working . Well i guess it wasnt a joke!

If you need disability, you should apply.

If you can avoid disability do so because being on it can be restrictive to your life goals. But if you can’t it’s understandable. Some schizophrenia is worse then others and not all really should require disability although enough people in that category are seriously ill enough that some places have no questions asked because mainly of lack of funds to treat all of its effects. In the US once you are on disability you are expected to be on it for life and they punish you for trying to get off of it.

If you know what your doing you can get approved for it rather quickly, took me just 3 months (USA) be smart and creative.
I currently collect it and u get great health care / other great benefits with it… Takes allot of stress off your shoulders.
I work a Job and do two businesses on the side while on it as well good luck 
to all that apply.
