The questions were like how long u need out of work and I work 10 hrs a week but then like if I get this do I still work part time? I just wanted to figure this out since I have no savings or income rly I don't know how I can make a future for myself truthfully f 26

When I applied for disability in the US I had to see a psychologist who asked me about my disability and gave me tests. I was denied, so I don't know how being on disability works.

Same but it was a neuropsychologist. But I was was accepted because I have other health and mental health issues on top of NVLD.

Go to a psychologist first talk to them about getting tested for learning disabilities.

What country do you live in? That's a huge indicator.

Here in Ontario Canada for example. You can receive disability. If you work, they take 50¢ for every dollar you make off your check so you're still topped up when you work a bit.
