Most likely, yes. File a claim and have your doctor complete the Attending Physician's statement as well as your specific limitations and restrictions. Then have your employer provide you something in writing, stating that they cannot accommodate your limitations and restrictions. Provide this documentation to the insurance company along with whatever other paper work they require.

* Total disability * Partial disability

No. There is no possible method in which your employer can withhold this. The Government is the governing body for disability insurance. They issue checks for disability.

The company has an insurance company that would pay these claims and again, the administering body is the Government. The employer is only responsible to pay you for when you are working. Compensation claims go through your state.
