Get And Sign Medical Certificate To Support Entitlement To Family Caregiver Leave, Family Form

Definitely ask for a psychologist referral!  You want someone on your side who can understand your issues and be willing and eager to advocate for you with the beancounters because disability can be rather hard to get some places, like just south of the border in America.Having a psychologist means you have a more qualified specialist filling out your papers (which is a positive for you and for the government), and it means you can be seeing someone who can get to know your issues in greater depth and expertise for further government and non-profit organization provided aid.If seeing a psychologist on a regular basis is still too difficult for you, start with your initial appointment and then perhaps build up a rapport with a good therapist through distanced appointments (like via telephone, if that is easier) until you can be going into a physical office.  It would probably look good on the form if your psychologist can truthfully state that you are currently seeking regular treatment for your disorders because of how serious and debilitating they are.I don't know how disability in Canada works, but I have gone through the process in the US, and specifically for anxiety and depression, like you.  Don't settle for a reluctant or wishywashy doctor or psychologist, especially when it comes to obtaining the resources for basic survival.  I also advise doing some internet searches on how to persuasively file for disability in Canada.  Be prepared to fight for your case through an appeal, if it should come to that, and understand the requirements and processes involved in applying for disability by reading government literature and reviewing success stories on discussion websites.

There was a time that I made a very big, life altering decision that seemed to everyone else like an incredibly foolish one. Everyone told me how foolish it was and tried to change my mind. Everyone except my mother. She told me once what she thought and then after that did everything she could to support my decision regardless of the fact she didn't agree with it.So, in that vein I will suggest the following: They've had their say, it sounds like, now it's time for them to stop giving advice about your situation and give you their love and support. Tell them that clearly and without any equivocation. A nicer way to put it is, "I understand you don't agree. I respect that but I don't need your advice about this, I need your love and support in this very personal decision that I've made." Maybe even outline for them what you think that support should look like if you think it would help.

Each principal beneficiary (and their family) is petitioned with a separate I-130 petition, and each I-130 petition has a separate I-864 Affidavit of Support. Each family’s I-864 does not count the other family in the “family members” in Part 3 (note that it says “Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition.”).If the two I-864s are filed at the same time for the two families, then each family’s I-864’s household size (Part 5) would just count the number of people immigrating in that family, which is 4 (item 1), the petitioner (item 2), and the petitioner’s spouse (item 3), dependent children (item 4), and other tax dependents (item 5), if there are any. It would not count anyone from the other family.On the other hand, if one I-864 is filed for one family, and that family has already immigrated before the second I-864 is filed for the other family, then the first family’s members will need to be counted in Part 5 item 6 (people sponsored on Form I-864 who are now lawful permanent residents) for the second family’s I-864.

It all sounds great, but the devil is in the details.what’s a family sustaining wage? How many kids does that mean? Do I have to be marrried, or does it transfer to single moms too? Would couples with no kids get the same amout? If not, what if they have to take care of a sick parent or relative? Does sustaining only cover housing and utilities and food? What level of housing? What level of food? Is cable and cell phones included in utilities? Is sustaining the same in Montana as in California? What if we move?Same thing with paid vacations. How many days are paid? How long do I need to work to qualify? Will it be the same amount when I’m there as when I’m not? If I’m guaranteed a living wage, can I take my maximum vacation right after starting and then quit and get another guaranteed job and do the same?Is retirement security the same for those who save as for those who don’t? Can I just spend like crazy then and live beyond my needs since once I’m retired, I’ll be paid? What if I’ve gone in to debt? Will that be taken into account for my pension? Will they add more for mortgage payments or my kids’ student loans? How old do I have to be to retire? What if I retire early? What if I retire late?And finally, where will the money for all of this come? I’m already convinced that I likely won’t see much if any Social Security money once I’m retired, as we’re getting nearer and nearer to the 1:1 ration of payer:retiree. As more and more people “get”, and less and less people “put in”, it makes it tough to even cover the obligations we already have.

This is one of the reasons I am speaking out and speaking up all the time. I think that people do not realize that they will soon be a caregiver if they have not already been one. There are over 47 million at home now caring for someone without pay. Millions are caring for special needs children who require lots of care, while millions are caring for their parents. 67% of the caregivers will pass away before the person they are caring for. It happens all the time.Recently a friend of 92 passed away and he was the sole caregiver of his wife with Alzheimer’s. She was not even aware of where she was and it was so hard on her to be moved. There was a lot that had to happen to find a place for her immediately. It was a good thing she had enough inheritance to care for her.Do you see what I am saying? Caring for others is full-time and those who are doing it need to be able to afford to stay at home with their loved one. Not everyone has enough money to do so. We would not want them to starve or be put on the street. But what is your answer to the problem if it were your family?As a country that claims to have concern for those non-citizens (which my grandfather was at an early age), would it be the same love and care that would provide for our own families when they need it?We must keep everyone working as long as possible to contribute to the system in place that help those who need the help. Knowing we had a son who had cerebral palsy from birth, we have contributed a lot to SS all our lives. We knew that SS would help him, even if we never lived to take part in it.There is no free money. We all must be concer

Dear Amy, what I hear from your question is that you are asking for help. Congratulations are in order as caregiver’s in general find it difficult to signNow out for help. Secondly, there are ways you personally can find relief with proper self-care and also for your company to assist you. They might offer you flexible hours to assist you. Their human resource department may offer programs to assist you with the stress. You may be able to work out certain days off. They may be able to connect you with community organizations that can support you.So lets get back to you. Self-Care, and what I call the dance of caregiving in that many caregivers are so wound up that they find it difficult to stop and seek ways to find help. Do you find this true? Are there family members, siblings, or friends that can help? Can you take an afternoon off or ask others to coordinate one aspect of the care, for example to help with doctor visits, or being a companion to your loved one while you are away. You are not selfish in seeking help. What do you do for yourself? Who can help with cooking? cleaning? driving?You are taking one step at a time which is healthy and not too overwhelming. It is called chunking it, make one small goal, and achieve it. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Wishing you all the best and thank you for being a caregiver.
