I was just worried they won't approve him right now because he is still employed. He hasn't been able to work the last couple of months, but his employers have graciously continued to pay him, waiting to see if he can return soon. However, they called last week and needed to know if he was going to be able to return soon. He says yes, but I'm not so sure. Once his sick leave starts he will have that pay for 6 months. Again, I was afraid SS Disabilty might turn him down right now. Any ideas?
