I know someone right now who gets disability and even though he does have some health issues it doesn’t stop him from being a crack head and that is where his money goes. Makes me sooooo mad.

I was doing some work in a doctor’s office recently, and one of their nurses was telling me about how they see LOTS of patients that show up trying to get the doctor to help them get on SS Disability. The doctor wouldn’t go along with it, and the nurse said that the patient left angry, saying they would find a doctor that WOULD. It’s the new ‘American Dream’ around here. Get on disability, get the ‘food stamp’ card, free rent, and you’re set for life. I’m sure this is going on everywhere.

My wife has a relative that is pretty much like that. We calculated that the leach gets around $30,000 per year in government handouts, between her and her three bastard children.

We are so screwed.....

The skilled scammers get on disability with BS like "authority aversion". The rest of us pay for it. It rubs me the wrong way to see of 400+ lb "human" ooze out of a car in a handicapped parking place, then wallow into an "all you can eat" establishment. Where is the personal responsibility?

I always heard of disability refered to as “white man’s welfare.”

This is one area in which I think there is some misinformation. When I first graduated from college, I worked for a year as a claims rep for Social Security.

Social Security disability is one of the hardest to qualify for of any. I think something like 90 percent are turned down initially and not all that many qualify eventually.

when it became a “disability” to be fat/lazy, it became welfare, even if it comes from social security... I see people everyday with handicapped car signs because they are downright Fat,Fat, Fat and can’t walk far because of it.

All you need is a shyster lawyer who knows a quack and presto! Disability cash for life. The liberal shysters in MI advertise the scam on billboards.

I recently interviewed a woman 24 years old who has six kids (one set of twins).

She has left the Employed? and Employer? questions on the info sheet blank so I asked if she had a job.

“Yep, she replied, “My job is to get all my kids on disability. My Mama did that for me and now I want to do it for my kids. I gotta figure out a way to get the lawyer’s money and we’ll be all set.”

As I looked through her paper work, I noticed she gets a disability check of $600 something a month. Her youngest child was also on disability getting $400 something a month.

I was pissed off at the system for the rest of the day.

Another fav of mine is to ask an interviewee if they have a job and have them spit at me, “I get a government check!”

Thanks goldendays.
The percentage of West Virginians receiving Social Security Disability benefits ranks highest in the nation... 91,273 people -- 5.02 percent of the state's population -- are considered disabled workers... Another 14,835 West Virginians were listed as dependent spouses or children of those on disability, bringing total beneficiaries to 106,108.

I have as little patience with welfare fraud as anyone, in fact I have reported people who I saw buying large amounts of expensive food with food stamps then driving away in a new Alfa Romeo Sports car. Of course it turns out they had borrowed the car.

One thing I do not begrudge is those who really are disabled. My parents told me of one of their distant cousins who had appendicitis. Her Father had been crippled in a logging accident and the family had become dependent on relatives who were not exactly rich themselves for their lively hoods. Since they had no money, the local hospitals would not take her. This was back in the 20’s. Finally they got Baptist hospital in Pensacola to take her but she died on the way.

As I say I am against the cheats, I absolutely hate them but we also don’t need to go back that far either.
