It's easier to get a disability rating in the SS system than in the VA!.......................

IIRC, back around 2015 or so, POTUS told the long-term unemployed to apply for Social Security disability in order to get the unemployment numbers down before the 2016 election.

Well denials are routine for the first two levels. I have horrible experience with this.

They force your premiums. But when it’s time to pay out they could care less.

We had to get an attorney and fight for three years - and there was no question as to hubbys extreme disability (cancer, bone marrow transplant, complications, recurrent pneumonia) - all perfectly documented by reputable hospitals.

They just wanted him to somehow go back to work. Every doctor said he was too ill.

“One Washington, D.C.-area administrative law judge, who is a white Bernie Sanders supporter, was overheard complaining that many of his peers viewed their job as a way to steer government checks to minorities, regardless of the facts.”

First, Sanders is a communist, and anyone who supports him is suspect. Secondly, who’s business is is to “steer checks to minorities”? Screw them! Why should my tax money, taken from me, literally at gunpoint, be handed out to “minorities?” White people are the world’s minority and we get nothing but grief, hate, and disrespect, and are expected to accept it. Watch how that doesn’t change when we become the “minority” here. These activist judges need to be impeached. That is the correct word right? That thing with the lamppost? I do believe the pot is boiling.

It has long been noticed by EVERYONE that Social Security Disability is one of the most corrupt and abused parts of the Federal Government.

Back in the Obama Administration, Obama Democrat operatives were enrolling perfectly healthy people ( directly into SS long term disability as soon as the enhanced, multiply extended unemployment benefits ran out to get them hooked on welfare.

When Obama took office there were just under 5 million people on SS Long Term Disability and by the end of his first term there were between 13-16 million .

This completely starved the SS disability trust fund system of funds to properly care for the truly disabled people who the program was originally intended to protect.

There is a sense of entitlement in the black community that anything they can do to get government money, whether deserved or fraudulent, is fine and dandy, because their great-great-grandparents were slaves. Never mind the fact that the North had no slavery and the West had none, either. The name of the game is ‘get over’ not ‘get by’: Free money, free rent, free food, free phones, free medical care, free everything.

When all that is eventually cut off because it’s unsustainable in the long run, they might actually realize that they had voluntarily become slaves to the government for all those years of ‘free stuff’............

IS DOGE INVESTIGATING SOCIAL SECURITY NOW?

excerpt:

The AALJ, whose members make at least $185,000 a year, sued DOGE for accessing federal employee records, with Ramrup filing an affidavit that said, “Members of AALJ and I also fear that DOGE could use improperly disclosed records to retaliate against us.” She did not return a request for comment.

Social Security runs two disability programs: one, called Social Security Disability Insurance — for those who have worked in the past and now find themselves unable to — pays out roughly $150 billion a year in benefits). The other, called Supplemental Security Income, is for those who have never worked, and paid out about $54 billion in 2023.

Both programs, especially the latter, have been used as a shadow form of welfare for decades. In some Appalachian counties, more than a quarter of the population was on disability. In inner cities, unemployed individuals feign mental conditions like depression to get government checks that last a lot longer than welfare, which is limited to five years.
