They should be going after fakers who scam Social Security Disability when they are actually able bodied.

My sister-in-law's husband got Social Security Disability, claiming a bad back. Was in his very early 50's. He was simply lazy and worthless. Would often pick up heavy TV sets going up and down stairs, and other items to sell at flea markets. He scammed the system for years, until he died last year from suicide.

#25 I got a better one. A man that I worked with claimed he had a chronic back problem then claimed he fell in his bathtub.

He bought short term disability coverage thru our employer. He ended up getting a couple of years bilking the system along with SSDI. The short term provider cut him off after (get this) a news station ran a story of him Scuba diving and some bizarre fish identified.

Still sucking SSDI however.
