“My husband is a former driver for UPS of 10 years. He had to get a pace maker, and saw that he could not keep up with his work as he did before the pace maker. He is very depressed and his primary care physician asked why he isn’t on disability for depression and pace maker. I didn’t think you could get disability for these reasons? Is it possible?”
