Urgent Help please
I had an open work comp case from an AI robot hitting me (August 2022) caused a severe lupus flare and out for 1.5 years. While dealing with permanent damage (complete digestive system failure documented) I was transferred to a call center and got letter forcing me back. I was very unsure but found out it was a remote position so thought I could handle it and went back uncontested however, In Jan 24 when done with training for new position I informed HR and new manager of injury, work comp, needing extra time off. All that was said is provide documentation. I did so in spades. In end of 24 started getting disciplined for said attendance and kept explaining my permanent injuries light duty was suggested, federal disability and finally after getting warnings and a 7 day suspension all grieved (local union failure) Reasonable accommodation was sent OCt 25 again in Feb 2026 and asked for again in april, may, and June. No response and increasing stress producing more disease activity, reduced hours and increasing time off. Was hospitalized in March 25 with life threatening GI bleed and in June 2025 found out I have severe spinal arthritis, bilateral carpel tunnel, hip dysplasia requiring total hip replacement, upper and lower body nerve damage. The continued delay and workplace stress resulted in severe financial loss, increased disease activity, resulting in mortgage arears, unpaid bills and strain on my wellbeing household as a whole. One vicous circle. It all came to a head when I got another investigative interview notice May 8, 2026. I went into a total incapacitation flare. I filed an eeo May 10, 2026 counselor found management lied (documented with proof)and sent letter to file formally on the 29th. I sent in immediately. Meantime, I was served another 7 day suspension and asked manager due to flare currently in can I have an accommodation to work from home without required on site to reconnect. She said yes. NO! June 9, logged in and couldn't get on couldn't work and got new doctor note June 11. On the 12th after learning from union that management should have informed me any work related time missed should have been covered under work comp case previously active closed may 29, 2025 due to inactivity. Had I known, I wouldn't have went through any of this and I wouldn't be looking at possible foreclosed home, increasing health concerns etc. I have documentation till the cows come home which is provided to eeo, owcp, management, and now FHA, lender etc. I am beyond stressed out and the worst part is its not effecting just me. Its effecting my husband, my beloved 3 dogs whom I don't know what's gonna happen if I lose my home. My health. This is life altering and threatening. I am stunned and would be so appreciative of any help. Lawyers want retainer and I have to save everything Ive got to try and keep it all going. I am scared so scared Thoughts on also filing for federal disability so I don't lose that too at this point management went silent and wont respond to union or requests to get information why they wont reconnect my account so I can work
