The California mother of newborn octuplets and six other children collected more than $165,000 in state disability payments for an on-the-job back injury that a doctor and even she said was worsened by pregnancy, according to state documents released Thursday.

Nadya Suleman, 33, received payments over six years, between 2002 and 2008, according to documents disclosed to the Associated Press after a public records request to the state Division of Workers' Compensation

The single mother gave birth to most of her six other children during the time she was on disability, exacerbating the injury.

Suleman spokesman Michael Furtney said he could not comment until he and Suleman’s lawyer had seen the document.

After examining her in August, Dr. Steven Nagelberg attributed 90 percent of her injury to the work incident and 10 percent to her pregnancy.

During a hearing on her case in December 2001, Suleman said pregnancy aggravated her back condition. She said she spent most of the day in bed and was unable to care for her first child, according to a report by workers’ compensation judge Jerome Bulavsky.

I rarely support the welfare agencies taking children from their natural parents.

In this case, I'll make an exception.

These children need to be adopted out to loving families who can handle them without government support.

the old “back injury” excuse.....seems to me she should have avoided lying on her back all these years.....now that’s the problem.

I’d say it also put quite a strain on the tax payer’s backs as well.

I’ve been googling for more stories.

While on the first disability, she had a car accident on the way to a doctor’s appointment and got a second monetary settlement.

Grandma has been taking care of the kids since the first was born. Nadya’s back was so bad she couldn’t lift a three month old, yet, she kept going.

Nadya knows how to work the system. What’s even more scary is that she was studying for a master’s in counseling. She could have been someone’s therapist.

Do you think she’s been using the Matthew Lesko book all along?

She was still married though not living with the husband when she had the first six babies from another man’s sperm. She thought the first one might help their marriage.

I wonder if legally the ex is financially responsible for the kids born before they divorced?

Matthew Lesko is the guy on TV who wears a suit with question marks on it and acts crazy and sells a book on how you can get everything free from the government.

Oh why couldn’t these historic octuplets have been born to a normal, two-parent American family, so we could feel excited and happy and even patriotic about the whole thing?

This parastic baby machine of dubious origins has worn out the compassion mat faster than anyone can say “ROPMA”. I’m about as thrilled at these births as I am about the latest demographic figures regarding muslims. Wait... same thing.

Don’t you get it???
..her back injury is bullcrap.... A disability scam

She is a leech. If her back was so bad she would not have had baby after baby because just raising children is hard on your back. Doing all the hard work and chores

My bet is after she got on disability she got bored and wanted to give her life some meaning. That’s when she started her career as tax payer funded baby factory

That was probably part of working the system. I doubt she would have ever actually been a counselor...instead, it was a transfer of taxpayer funds to an educational institution.
