Thanks so much for your response Mark.

Can I ask: when you say "I'd suggest seriously considering pressing on", you mean pressing on with disability application?

I work for an international organization that is much more lenient than social security, especially because they prefer to give you disability instead of requiring you to work at a job with a much different skill set.

I asked about social security because that will be a reference to them, indirectly, since we are located in the US. It will strengthen my case if I can bring cases or studies showing that people are granted disability for PCs in the US or other countries.

As to my eye issues, I will discuss this in another post, since I would like to focus on disability issues now (I am quite stressed about my long term prospects). My vision has gotten worse over time after each setback, that is why it is baffling doctors. I am at a point where even the simplest eye exercises (a 10 minutes visual therapy) sets me back for a couple of weeks.
