Same story with worker's compensation in Washington State. It's really not even worth applying without a lawyer and a few thousand dollars at least to gamble that you can prove that the pain is caused by work. The word of your actual doctors means nothing and only the five minute consultation by their hacks determines your fate, a consultation whose result is known ahead of time: denied. And this is a state run program allegedly ran for the benefits of the workers paying into it. Yeah right. A bunch of bullshit we wouldn't need to deal with if we had proper healthcare in this country. But instead, this is the way America treats its workers. Why would we expect anything better for disability?
