I think you can make a request for an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Once you make the request they can't just fire you until the accommodation is either provided or denied. Honestly, it can take anywhere from 30 to 120 days to properly accommodate a disability. Sometimes faster, sometimes longer. And if you make the request and are fired without a formal proceeding on the ADA request, you might have legal recourse. And think of the flak the employer gets for firing a disabled vet that asks for an accommodation under the ADA?
I think you should try this. Contact the US Dept. of Justice and find out who in your area to discuss your case with regarding the ADA as well as your VA case worker. |
