I had two chance opportunities to observe two “disabled” people recently.

Tall, fit, young men. Articulate, ambulatory and decently dressed in casual clothes and nice new sneakers. But they were explaining to someone how they were just approved for disability.

Why do I bother working? Oh, right, to pay for extended vacations for those who won’t.

Don’t feel bad. I just spent 2 1/2 years and 2 denials waiting for a court date for a lifetime documented issue involving lotsa surgery and steroids. I was told specifically to my face and off the record of course I was the wrong color some time ago.

Once I got a court date, the guy that went into the room before me was as you describe. Fortunately he left fast and visibly pissed.

My case resulted in both the judge and govt rep/expert naysayer (basically a govt rep there to deny you) agreeing that I never should have been denied. But they system was ‘under a heavy burden’ at the moment.

I have a genuine issue and to be honest, it embarrasses me to admit it. BECAUSE so many scam the system. And people like me get lumped in with them in the public eye.

But I understand why.

Oh...and it will be 7 months before they get to processing me.
