Do these stats refer to both S.S.I. and S.S.D.I. combined?
Here’s my theory: I was actually thinking about this today at work. 20 years ago or so, drug addicts and alcoholics used to go on disability. Well, you give an addict a check every month and I don’t have to tell you what often happens. It got so bad there was an exposé on 20/20 or one of those shows. People were outraged. So they stopped, but instead slapped mental illness diagnoses on a lot of them so they could get checks. Just my theory.
