Agree, have a friend with MS that was able to work for a few hours a day. Wasn’t a slacker or trying to take advantage of anything. Simply wanted to continue a lifelong career until being unable to do so.
Yep, many disabilities are unseen- the person loks fine, but they aren’t- not by a long shot. Ms is one condition where it’s not obvious unless you know the person and know they get wiped out easily, to the point thst they are in bed for a few days as they recover, or you see them when their conditions flare up. When a person’s condition flares up, they usual,y have to stay home, and only go,out when it subsides and they feel and look better, and that is the only time folks see them and so they think that there is nothing wrong with them.
Folks don’t see the person that they think is OK when that person gets home and collapses and is useless for a few days as they recover. They just see the person doi g somehting like mowing their lawn, raking leaves or whatever and conclude that they are fine and shouldn’t be on disability.
On the other hand, I’ve known people like a fella in our town who got disability because he lost 1/2 a thumb. He is able to,work at his side hustle all day long every day practically though, then go out partying at night. OtHers that clam that they are so depressed that they can’t deal with people, yet tHey are out and about interacting with people just fine. Oabama’s “disabled people” get their disability check and walk a block and cash it and buy drugs with it.
Those who are really sick get screwed because tHe system wants to make room for more druggie and welfare dropouts t keep,getting paid.
