I waited 5 weeks just to be told I can't receive benefits

After working overtime and stressing behind my job for the past 5 years, it resulted in me being diagnosed with retinopathy hypertension, at the age of 29, on 12/10/2018. That was my last day of work. I have permanently went blind in my left eye and partially in my right. I can barely see, cannot drive and cannot stare at a phone or computer for long periods of time, because they strains my eyes causing me to have headaches. I was told I’d get short term disability til June 14th, then it’ll roll over to long term disability. After a little over 3 months (March 23, 2019) my job advised my FMLA had exhausted and they requested papers from my eye doctor as well as my primary care doctor. No one has released me to go to work. My eye doctor stayed it may be accommodated if I had a larger screen, bolder text, and a brighter screen. My job advised they were unable to accommodate my condition and they fired me. Every since then short term disability has not paid me because they feel I should be able to work considering it MAY be able to be accommodating just not by my job. I’m still permanently blind in my left eye, still partially blind in my right. Unable to get prescribed glasses because the doctors say I may change prescriptions every week depending on if the swelling increases or decreases. So now I’m stuck looking crazy and can’t do anything without assistance. My mom assist me with everything including this. I’ve filed an appeal after waiting 5 weeks just to be told I can no longer receive benefits. Sounds like a set up considering everything was smoother while I was employed. and I’m waiting patiently even tho I’ve lost everything at this point. Idk what else to do.
