I hate to say it, but around here getting on disability is considered to be a good thing just like winning the lottery. Quite sad really...

"I hate to say it, but around here getting on disability is considered to be a good thing just like winning the lottery. Quite sad really..."

Same thing here in my area. After all of the factories closed during the 90s, getting on disability is the new 'American Dream'. I know a lady that practices in a doctor's office, she told me that day after day people come in practically demanding it.

I'm amazed at the number of law firms which specialize in this fraud.
Have they no shame ?

sorry to disagree, but as a working man sho has contributed thousands over the years i disability ibsurance...I’m noy going yo be called out for the meager 622bucks I goy after my stroke last June. I’d work, but I can”teven drive my lawnmower.

Some people are truly disabled, and need that protection, but a whole host of them need tossing...if you are a drugie you do not need on Disability or if you are depressed, to many drugs to treat that out there same goes for those who are bi-polar.

Now if you need a heart transplant you need to be on it, as you cannot work. Same goes for people with ALS or advanced MS. Get the lawyer on the FRONT END, not after you have applied and been turned down. Have all your medical records at hand.

BUT NO ILLEGALS.

And good luck reporting a Medicare/Tricare Life fraud doctor who has political pull with the state and fed demRATS. Even your GOP senator won’t have his people return your phone calls. And the Medicare fraud web site like the FDA bad drug website is a NIGHTMARE to use.

Exactly. Disability is the golden parachute of the 99'er. The back door out of unemployed status. We watched this with scorn, in Europe already back in the 80's, but never thought Americans would stoop to this.
