Hello I have been on unemployment for the past 6 months and here in California there are no extensions after the allowed 6 mo. I was planning to look for work but my Doctor diagnosed me with severe depression and said I was physically fit for work right now.. Can I collect disability even tough I have not worked in over a year?

Don't know where you got the idea that UI is only payable for 6 months. Federal law grants up to 99 weeks of payments, with the available extensions.If you are able to work, you are not disabled. If you haven't worked in more than 15 months, you are probably not eligible for State Disability Insurance payments.
