You did not ask to be disabled. You wanted to work, but you have a serious medical condition. Reasonable accommodations under disability law and sick leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are not enough to save your job. But your employer does have a long term disability policy. The problem is that the insurance company says you are not qualified under the company insurance policy. Despite all your medical problems, you are not disabled enough, in their opinion, to qualify, and now they don't want to help you. It is important to document your claim properly with the insurance company. We can help you with the documentation and processing of your claim with the insurance company and take the matter to court in New York State or New York City if you are being improperly denied long term health care benefits.
