Should I Stop Working?
Taking a medical leave from work is not an easy decision to make. Concerns about providing for yourself and your family and keeping your job may cause you to want to push through your pain, but this won’t make your problems go away. Stopping work is often the smartest decision for your long term health and wellbeing, and your disability benefits are there to provide you with financial support until you can return to work.
