I understand many former recipients of AFDC moved to SSDI by having their children 'classified' as learning disabled by having ADD (Attention Deficiency Disorders). They would have their little darlings start acting up in class and be referred to a sympathetic Psychiatrist who would tailor a diganosis that would qualify for SSDI.
In Massachusetts they found clusters of neighborhoods that had a high frequency of this.
I have seen parents plotting their children's SSDI future.
