    I had a work injury in 2004 that I settled with my job and was discharged “permanent and stationary”, basically meaning that there was nothing more they could do to help me and I got a cash payout.

    I still have some discomfort, but the injury was a repetitive stress injury from building 500+ cars per shift at an auto plant.

    I am being asked to submit a form about disabilities. It states whether you have or had any disabilities. I think I should say yes since it is likely that it will show up on a background check, but will this eliminate my chances of getting an interview? It doesn’t distinguish between past and present disability.

    Any insight?

    Almost always from my phone... please excuse my typos!
