I thought they meant SSI?
SSDI is one of the toughest programs to apply to. You usually get rejected without a lawyer to help you get your disability application approved.
That’s why all the late night commercials hawk legal services for handling SSDI rejections by the Social Security Administration.
You usually get it with a lawyer, and the government pays for the lawyer.
Unfortunately, some of those lawyers are really, really good at getting people of sound mind and body on the rolls. I run in to them all the time in my line of work—healthy young men & women on SSDI for “chronic back pain” (play basketball regularly) or “depression”—legit issues, but not in these losers. It’s sickening how many faking malingerers are on SSDI in my part of the country. Spend just one day shadowing me at work, and you’ll be screaming mad by the end of the day.
