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!
Rest assured, I was agreeing with you. I’ve seen abuse of the system, too, and reported it. I also know that there are folks who truly need it. Moreover, not all disabilities are visible or obvious to the naked eye.
We are on the same side. Sorry if my post came across indicating otherwise.
