Based on some stories from my mother, I think you’ve nailed it. A lot of people seem to be getting on SSDI these days. She just can’t understand it.

And more on the subject. Here's a graph of SSDI recipients from the SS Administration web site, here.

Those are numbers of SSDI recipients in *1,000s*. So we have today almost 9 million SSDI recipients, as compared to around 3.5 million in 1993, around 20 years ago. Our population certainly isn't up 2.5 times.
