Is getting disability for a year so easy? Afaik in Austria your GP is not enough for that. It needs to get approved by supervisors of the national insurance to get it approved to prevent cheaters with "friendly" getting fake disability claims.

Yeah, in AT you'll get referred to an Amtsarzt from the ÖGK before anything - Also pretty sure the employer is off the hook and you get the money straight from either the ÖGK (federal health insurance) or the AMS (unemployment office) for any sick / disability leave longer than 6 weeks.
