Social Security disability comes down to how good your lawyer is--and how many times one person stays after it. Then another that worked a total of 2 weeks her entire life--got addicted to hard core drugs--and gets social security disability benefits--and has received it for DECADES.

So don't tell me there's no fraud in social security disability benefits.


First off I NEVER said there is No Fraud, I said that most are deserving, but I guess that don't fit your agenda, so you twist my words. Secondly Winning a social security appeal is a time consuming matter, in my case it was close to 18 months - 2 years (which is normal) before I won my appeal with no income in the mean time. Please tell me how many peeps are willing to starve (no income) to fraud the government.

It is also necessary to have credits to receive social security disability, that means working more than 2 weeks, usually close to 10 years credits which means they either worked more or are drawing on a family members credits.

I am also glad that you think its fraud cause a doctor can't find a disease. Just because a persons condition doesn't have a known disease doesn't mean they aren't disabled.

But once again what does that have to do with your statement that the disabled are taken care of ?????
