This question is complicated and cannot be answered with a simple yes or no; however, here are a few scenarios:

1. If you were injured on the job then you need to file a workers' comp. claim - with or without your employer's participation;

2. It is possible to collect unemployment benefits and workers' comp. medical benefits;

3. It is possible that your employer is intentionally or unintentionally discriminating against you because of a disability; and

4. You must immediately act otherwise you run the risk of losing all potential benefits with the passage of time with no activity.
