“Not our problem in America.”
You can get a check from Social Security if you present them with the ‘crazy letter’ saying you have a psychiatric disability. There are doctors that will supply them. This was explained to me by one of my employees several years ago. I don’t know if they still do it or not.
Then THAT is an American issue to be solved. The UK can solve its own problems.
Yeah I got laid off, and went to get retraining but the state wanted me to be disabled to get vocational rehab. I went to their psych and vocational eval. Turns out I am considered disabled on about 8 levels. Several of them qualifying me (4 of them “psychological”) for SSD. I just took a job this year that pays me 70k. All it takes is a willingness to drag my butt out of bed and apply work ethic. I won’t get to see retirement, but at least I can be satisfied with myself I didn’t wuss out. Yes, I know there are some who legit can’t work, thats not the sort I’m referring to.
