I understand your dilemma @Former-Member Your previous mental health issues should not have a bearing on worker's comp but that is not something you can rely on. Your need to look after your kids of course takes a priority so I can see why you feel you have to go back to work right now. It is definitely not ideal though - you can't function properly if you are not well enough to be there but just like everything you need an income. You are certainly in a tough position. I very much understand the need to get back to work because of finances but I think I was in a much more stable position than you are right now to do that. I can imagine how hard this is for you though. How long is the waiting period for worker's comp?
