My husband is on disability through no fault of his own. Everyone acts like it is so easy to get disability. Believe me, it isn’t. Sure, there are some who probably shouldn’t receive it, but I believe most are truly disabled.

my bil and his wife both got on dissability pretty easily....she can turn on the tears at a drop of a dime and both went to the same scheming lawyer....

she can travel all over and he can play poker every day....they own their own home and a second plus some land and and now have TWO sports cars.....

your husband deserves the disability but these two and millions like them....not even close...

yet the workers must keep working til age 70.

It's probably hard for people like your husband to get on disability - but I can assure you - for those people who know how to milk the system, it's easy.

I knew a person who was one of twelve children - and all the siblings were on Social Security Disability. The brothers and sisters suggested - to this person - to "go with mental" because it was harder to disprove. But the person I knew actually DID need disability and did it honestly. It was harder than for the others in the family... The youngest in the family ( of 12 ) was in his 20 's. Meaning social security could be paid for over 70 years. And for this I want honest workers to work UNTIL they're 70? No way.

Those who really are disabled better join with the rest of us... the dead-beats who game the system will sink it for citizens that are truly disabled - including your husband.

I’d say that only 20% are truly disabled and that’s being generous.

I speak from personal experience.
