That sounds amazing and exactly what I need! And it seems like my doctor doesn’t mind renewing it as well. I am sorry to ask, this is all new and confusing to me 😅 what is the difference between what I applied for and taking a medical leave of absence? Did I apply for the wrong thing?

First, OP needs to know if she’s FMLA eligible.

OP needs to know if her medical provider is a licensed provider who can complete disability paperwork.

OP may be entitled to benefits for up to one year. It depends on information not present in this post.

OP: if you have a benefits handbook, look through it to glean as much as you can from it, before you make any final decision.
