some more good news

Yesterday was an interesting and unusual day- a day that unfolded before my eyes with a pleasant surprise. My hep c group had been advising me forever that I should find out from a lawyer if I could get health insurance benefits from my former employer. I thought it was impossible because I had left the employment at the end of June and I had not requested a medical leave. Anyway Garth told me over the phone that I had fifteen months to apply for disability benefits following my departure. At his suggestion I obtained the right papers from Great West Life and I immediately filled out my portion and sent my doctor his portion and sent my former employer their portion – It took a lot of time and energy and I am so wound up I could not sleep after 4:00 A. M. I know my cpp disability has been approved. So perhaps this will also resolve itself and if the GHEA fails to fill out papers properly Garth has promised to give them a nudge. Wahoo!!! I am pretty sure that things will work out successfully as my Dr. can certainly say what is necessary.
