Who is asking the Govt to support them due to a disability? The Petersons'?

They are thousands who suffer from depression at the taxpayers expense. My point was that I'm glad the Rochas are not part of that. And we can differ on this point, okay?

I don't disagree. Depression in most cases is treatable and many carry on without losing everything to end up on SSI Disability.

I thought you maybe referring to the Petersons Jackie being on o2 that they are on SSI disability. Which I feel if she can show up for her son and care for his needs she can show up to a job or work out of her home.

When one is on SSI disability I usually think of adults that I know whose retired parents have given up rights to care for them. These are adults who are like my son completely disabled. Or terminal patients who have not one dime left to there name.

As for depression and other mental disorders I have no idea what the deal is on SSI disablity payments.

I know quite a few paraplegics that work in society and would never consider govt. payment. Maybe a loan for school or grants but I do not know if that is private or public.

A dear freind of ours has learning disabilities and is blind in one eye and after a lot of trying is finally starting Nursing school in Jan.
