There are plenty of scammers on disability.
Thanks to COVID (not the vax, I wasn’t falling for Fauci’s lies), I have been disabled but still working since 2020. It can be done.
Before COVID, I was fit, healthy, and still looked, according to my husband, “hot.” Now I have COPD, POTS, novel life-threatening seizures, am restricted from driving, and facing lung cancer. My PET scan results are due in Monday to see how bad it is.
Even with all of this, I am still working, still closing deals, still growing the company.
Truth be told, if my PET scan lit up like a Christmas tree, I’m going to pack it in. At that point, I think most people would agree I qualify.
Yes, there are disabled people. Legitimately. But I’ve seen it abused within my own extended family. If I could PROVE it, I’d report them...but all I have are strong suspicions.
I took a class once on social security disabilities taught by a lawyer to helped people get disability. I left wanting to puke.
But there are absolutely people who qualify. My sister refused to apply, but had to quit teaching early due to getting migraines 4-5 days a week. Medication eventually brought that down to around 3/month, but it took 10 years before a medicine came out that did the job.
Please understand, I DO KNOW there are people who are genuinely disabled and in need of help!
Your story always makes my heart ache for you. You’re a trooper and I hope you live many more yrs.
