You could if you went on "disability".

So the implication is that all people on disability are shiftess, lazy nutcases? Am I reading you right?

Logic fallacy: Composition.

The informal fallacy of attributing some feature of the members of a collection to the collection itself, or reasoning from part to whole.

I did not commit this logic fallacy. Did you?

True statement: Some people on disability are simply gaming the system.
False conclusion through the logic fallacy of composition: All people on disability are gaming the system.
