So we got an atty via LTD INS and he has filed for a hearing with judge but said it could take 12-18mos (after hus got first denial from SSDI). So fast forward:

Well, hus has received couple of LTD checks (after employer said he could no work) and now on long term disability, early retirement. So he gets a call, several calls now from LTD ins vocational person. She says, we think you can do assembly work at a factory. WTF? 11 knee surgeries, 2 spinal fusions, most recent one in last summer, has severe spinal arthritis, spondylisthesis, osteoporosis of spine and hips and a prosthetic knee. He can't sit or stand longer then 2hrs and they think he can work a prod line..Then she says, we will pay for any schooling, etc. Then she says your homework is to go to the library and look for free classes...and I will call you in a couple of days.

He has a degree and she reminded him and also thinks he can get computing job if he takes some classes....Yeah, like the thousands of other unemployed computer folks looking for jobs, he's got a real chance there,

Unbelievable, two checks and now they are pushing him to work...his employer told him you won't have to work at McDonalds...yeah right...

Not sure how all this works,Any folks been down this road with LTD and them pushing to get you to work?
