There's some people I've met that though they are on disability, their disability isn't visible, esp. when you see them doing physical things. Gosh forbid some P.I. drives by that person's house and takes pictures showing proof of disability fraud.
I knew someone that was on military disability because he stubbed his toe. (or injured it rather).
There's one woman I know that's on disability for narcolepsy, and it's not the type of narcolepsy where you see in the movies they just collapse right in their bowl of soup at dinner, but the type where she just feels the need to go to sleep. Agreed not to have kids with her now-ex-husband because of this disability .
She did live with her parents for many years after her divorce.
I had asked her if she ever thought about working at home, do some kind of office related work...she said she cant even do that, because she never knows when the urge to sleep will sneak in.
Then one day, she decides to take on a work at home gig. Said something about the worst of her narcolepsy happens during the day, so she does the work at night.
Not sure how this would impact her disability check, but she did move in with a new boyfriend, so maybe she's relying on him for income but who knows.
I know another woman that's a self-employed body builder/personal trainer at home that's on disability for PTSD. I didn't know if you had PTSD you'd qualify for disability though.
Someone I just met, the same thing, doesn't work is on disability, but she chose to take on temporary work for a few days. Saw her dancing on a table.
The bottom line is, how many people are on disability that are really just milking the system? Esp. when you find them doing something they arent' suppose to be doing physically?
Have the qualifiers for disability changed over time? Can it include more than just physical?
