Reply To: ADHD History, need information regarding Government help

Hi adhdj,

Hope you are doing well and have found some more fulfilling employment and a supportive medical team.  If you are still looking to how to apply for Canada Disability the following YouTube Video may help, Canada Disability Tax Credit Seminar – YouTube.  This is over in BC and is currently held in April.  You might find your local MP or MPP giving this seminar.  Now I do recommend finding your local MP or MPP to discuss with them of your situation.  Hopefully they can assist with you finding the proper people to assist with your situation.

Now if you have other Chronic conditions then it will be easier to qualify because the other conditions can increase the problem(s).  This is my situation with is now at a count of three conditions, ADHD, LD and now Crohn’s.  Thus I have considered the same thing as your self to get on Disability.  Also thinking this way due to my current work situation.

Problem I have is that I know I do not qualify for Disability at the moment.  Worse yet is they will give me more boring jobs which only make the problem worse.  Reason is I have a Masters Degree but a majority of the job applications I look at have anti-ADHD requirements and many of the Management teams will have no desire to put in the assistance.  In addition I will need some more industry experience if I want to do consulting.

If I am going to go on Disability the plan is only after I have exhausted EI and I know that getting further education is not possible.  In the mean time I am going to continue to pursue my career and not let it get to me.  Seek help and do my best at where ever I am working.  As I see it it is there loss that you are not working with them.  You also might look at, if still available, seek a Government of Canada Research Grant, just an option.
