What wording would be appropriate for a diagnosis for short term disability where the patient could return to?

Question

work part of the time. My employer is resistant to the word "part-time". I can do some work, but also find myself needing rest after activity. I figure I can be a work a few hours a day a few days a week. How would be a good way to write that for the disability papers. My doctor wants my input given my employers weird reaction to me taking disability,

Answer 1

Usually reduced activity.  If you had an active job, that might be more sedentary work on a PT basis.  Employers and insurance companies love to try and get these claims put aside.  You need to have your doctor pitch hit more forcefully for you.

Answer 2

It's sort of complicated based on the jurisdiction where you live, but generally your description is consistent with "partial disability," wherein the scope of your duties/hours may be limited but you could still work for a given amount of time.

Clearly, you'd need your physician to certify this.

I hope this is what you were looking for, good luck.
