"if this person went all the way to the Administrative Law Judge hearing with their claim, and was once again denied, they might not be all that disabled"

Yet you would be amazed at the numbers that are drawing disability that are not, and parents drawing disability for their ADD/learning "disabled" kids. What a scam. Yeah, okay. Let's not only hang a label on them before they're out of kindergarten and pump them full of unnecessary drugs, but let's convince them they're "disabled" so they will have an excuse not to EVER do anything but draw other people's money disability.

A few years back there was an entire town in the AR that was on ADD disability benefits - a huge scam that was eventually disclosed and stopped.

If it can be screwed up, trust governments to do it best.
