Legal Question in Disability Law in District of Columbia
Diagnozed ADA disability
My FMLA Leave will expire on Monday, 11/10. I am due to
return to my job, but both my
medical doctor's have recommended
that I ask for ADA protection and
a lateral transfer. On 10/23, I submitted an email request for
ADA protection and a written request to be transferred with
the employer system (education).
My psychiatric doctor wrote a detailed report to the EEOC Office
of the Employer indicating that I
am under his care and that I should
be given a transfer and reasonable
accommodations. The EEOC office
has denied ADA protection as well
as my request for reasonable
accommodations. If I do not return
to the same job on Monday I will
be fired. What are my options?

Correction to previous answer: I meant to say file your appeal of the EEOC decision that ruled you ineligible for protection under the ADA.

As I've already answered, file a complaint with your nearest EEOC district office.
