This depends on the type of Disability insurance you have and also how bad the ulcer is.
Normally, individual and group Disability insurance requires that you be unable to perform the material duties of your current occupation, in order to qualify and receive any benefits.
If the ulcer is preventing you from working in your job, then there is a chance you may qualify for benefits. If it does not affect your ability to work, then you should not expect to receive benefits.
If you are counting on Social Security Disability, you should not expect to be paid disability benefits. Social Security is significantly more difficult to qualify for. You must essentially be unable to do any form of work, in order to be considered disabled and eligible for benefits.
Not specifically for a long term disability, but you can collect if you have a terminal illness.
no, if you are collecting disability you are still employed
Some disability insurance policies will cover drug & alcohol as any other disability, but usually limit the benefits to maximum 24 month. If you had a disability insurance prior to being disabled from work due to alcoholism, and the policy did not specifically exclude drug & alcohol disabilities, you may be entitled to disability benefits.
This depends on what you mean by not "serious". A disability is a disability. Check the disability laws for the state you reside in to find out what the requirements are in order for one to collect disability insurance. If your disability prevents you from working or performing normally, then it is still serious.
If you were fired because of mental illness, then you should collect disability insurance, rather than unemployment insurance, and it lasts much longer.

Yes, if your disability insurance policy covers mental/nervous illnesses.Most disability insurance policies have a 2 years benefit period limitation on mental/nervous disabilities. Ask your agent if your policy covers these illnesses, and for how long.
The IRS doesn't pay disability benefits; they collect taxes. You may or may not be able to collect disability benefits from a private insurance policy and the Social Security Administration at the same time, but if you can, it's likely the income from one would be reduced to offset some or all of the income from the other. Check your insurance policy or consult with an insurance agent for more information.
You should be able to. If you are working past retirement age and paying in to state disability you should be able to collect up to 12 months. State disability is different then federal social security. If you are paying in and its within the 12 months you should be eligible to collect on what you paid for, it is insurance.
Not unless your disability is expected to last one year or longer. You can try to apply for Social Security disability, because you won't qualify for individual or workplace disability insurance while disabled.

Yes, the disability insurance payments can be paid on top of any workers comp payments received, if the policy's benefit is not integrated with any supplemental benefits. If your disability insurance policy is integrated with supplemental disability benefits, then the disability payments will be offset dollar for dollar by any mount received from workers comp or social security. That's why when you get a disability insurance policy, it is advised to include all or most of the disability benefit amount as "base benefit" which does not offset by any supplemental benefits received.
