At the rate we’re going we can get disability for not speaking Spanish in a few years.

My sister took 3 years trying to get on disability for Scleroderma, which did eventually kill her. They fought her and fought her on it.
I’ve been told by a friend who worked for a lawyers office that drug addicts are never turned down for it.

“Everything must support the Democrat Party. Now, how can the Social Security Administration support the Party?”
“Comrade, we can support the Party by allowing our party members to receive disability for anything like, say, wearing a baby bonnet.”
“Good. Make it so, comrade.”

By this standard, millions of Mexicans and Chicanos throughout the are also “disabled” and eligible for benefits. Many of the former speak only Spanish, many of the latter speak in gibberish barrio Spanglish.

Direct link to the audit report
http://oig.ssa.gov/sites/default/files/audit/full/pdf/A-12-13-13062.pdf
check out page 9:
For instance, we reviewed a DDS case where a 50-year-old female claimant in Puerto Rico filed for disability in FY 2010. She had 2 years advanced education, previously worked as a dental assistant, and only spoke Spanish.
The claimant alleged disability based on depression and disorders of the back. Her doctor noted that, with her medical condition, she could perform light work.
Given these factors, as well as inability to communicate in English, the adjudicator was able to cite grid rule 202.09 (see Table 1) and determine the claimant was disabled. Had the claimant been able to communicate in English, grid rules 202.12 or 202.14 would most likely
have directed a determination of not disabled.
The gist of this is non-English speakers in Puerto Rico are getting SSDI because they are classified as illiterate under English-grid-rules.
My question is: Are US ‘citizens’ in the US getting SSDI under these same English-grid-rules, when, if they spoke English they wouldn’t qualify?

This should help you understand why they “need” to raise your eligibility age and implement means testing.
