I'm too old to compete with younger folks

After a career as a field worker, I have suffered from many injuries and now, physical limitations that keep me out competative of field work. I was aged out of manual jobs and now I can't find work, even with my extensive accumulated skill base. Too hurt to work but not enough for disability. Ready to chuck it all in.

Disabilities and service dogs

Does anyone here have any experience with trying to find employment with a SD? I know what the laws say, but that doesn’t stop a potential employer from simply not picking you and not disclosing why.

Little back ground. I am a disabled veteran with 12 years experience in what best translates to logistics (but on the explosive side). I can walk but bending, twisting and standing too long tends to cause a ton of pain. Unfortunately that knocks out a lot of the logistical positions I have the most experience in. I would love getting into a stock control, shipping, dispatching or something along those lines position that would put me behind a desk more often than not. Issue is, I can’t even get anyone to look at me. I’m assuming my resume that I’ve redone multiple times now, does not properly reflect my experience. Either that, or when I am asked about being a “protected person” (due to my disabled veteran status) they are simply tossing my application to the digital trash. Maybe they assume I have PTSD? I don’t know, we were warned that this is stereotype veterans face when looking for work. Maybe I shouldn’t declare myself as a “protected person”? Anyways, I either hear nothing back or I get a denial email within 24 hours of submitting a application. So, the first step is getting into the door which I am not. The next step after that, how do I approach the topic of a dog? Should I bring her with me to the interview? I don’t want to not be forthcoming about my disability but at the same time, I need to work for something more than Doordash (nothing against doordash, I appreciate the opportunity to get some sort of cash flow but I have bills and this can’t be the only thing I have going).

Getting off Dissability

Im transitioning back to work ive been on dissability since 2012 What do i say to a hiring manager " why was I on dissability? Without putting up red flag regarding my dissability like it would be a problem if i were to be hired. And so fourth ? Is that against the law for them to ask im afraid of being discriminated for my dissabilty.
