Getting on SSDI is not as difficult as you think.
I have a close family member who has fabricated a case of fibromyalgia and an anxiety disorder.
Believe me, I am very close to this person and she has no symptoms of fibromyalgia and maybe a mild case at best of anxiety.
She got her high priced psyc doctor to help her with the paper work and hired an attorney as well.
It took a few years but her lies worked. I remember her first check from SSDI was for over 60,000 dollars....no joke.
She now makes about $800 and something a month.
Believe me she can work. What she is doing is a total scam and we taxpayers are paying for her to sit at home and watch movies.’
Did I mention she just bought a brand new Ford today? I pay an enormous amount a year in fed taxes to pay for her lies but I can’t afford a new car.
It makes me sick.
I know there are people who are truly disabled....my brother was in a very bad car accident which left him with severe brain damage. He couldn’t speak, walk, use his hands, nothing. It took him 10 years going through the motions and denials until a judge finally took one look at him and granted him the disability.
In my estimation at least 50 to 75 percent of the people receiving disability benefits from SS are full of baloney and gaming the system.
Including my family member.
I'm one eye functional with good vision in neither and one has severe astigmatism my dominant eye. It is a disorder you can't see. I was born club footed both feet and am now as well flat footed in both feet. My legs and feet are twisted from years of walking off balance and arthritis set in.
Now then. I could walk up to you tomorrow and talk to you for an hour and you likely would not detect anything unless I had a seizure or have my cane.
It was a Social Security Medical Examiner that was the first to tell me I'd never be able to work again. I think she knew what she was seeing but at that time it had no name. G.A.D. worked on paper and so it was. I was later diagnosed with PTDS as well which I am now free of.
I know several persons with Fibro. They have their good days and bad ones. Not enough is known about it to really treat it. 16 years ago nothing was known about what I have. Because of that I was given the wrong medication treatment for nearly two years. Most of what I know about what I have I acquired on my own searches.
“fibromyalgia “
Another common one is epilepsy
You know the read deal on this...
