11.1.1 HOW DO I HANDLE PROBLEMS ABOUT MY JOB?

  • If your work is, or will likely be, affected by your illness, educate your boss about your condition. Do this soon.

  • You may need their support later when more problems may arise, and it will be easier to educate them while you are still relatively productive and “credible”.

  • Understand that you might have to make some severe changes: a change of job, or perhaps an involuntary loss of your job and a shift to disability benefits.

  • Beware of the trap of losing important disability benefits if you switch to part time work. Many HCV patients whose health was spiraling downwards had switched to part-time work to preserve their place with their employer. Later, when their health deteriorated even more and they needed to seek disability benefits, they found out too late that those benefits for a part-time employee did not include a livable income, whereas if they had gone straight from full-time to disability, the disability payments were much more livable. Be careful.
