Well when you have the option to accumulate us much as 950 hours of sick time you shouldn't really need to go on disability, depending on the severity of your illness I suppose. My buddy had some orthopedic surgery and could use purely sick time for the 1st 3 months and went on disability for the next 3. There is no way you should have to go immediately on disability when you earn sick time as quick as we do. But like I said, these abusers that use up all their sick time all the time have the safety net of short-term disability and are a complete drain on the system.
