    Long Term Disability question

    I have a question for those who had Long Term Disability at work. Upon your diagnosis I am assuming that most people are still able to work somewhat. However this is a terminal illness. How did the doctor right the diagnosis at the start that said the individual could no longer work?

I feel like I have done so much research, but still have no idea what will happen next with this disease. As I have said before, my husband is declining rapidly. I am so afraid something is...
