Neighbor is living her best life on Disability with "Long Covid"

[Anonymous]

Most people out there with long Covid can't play tennis all the time. It sounds like they have plenty of money to spare (Italy, tennis club), so you could always report her and have her investigated.

Also, look on social media of her tennis club for photos to submit as proof.

Playing bad doubles tennis isn’t very taxing. You have no idea how much she exerts herself on the court and none of this is any of your business anyway. There is a process and it’s not easy.

Neither are desk jobs.

If she’s well enough to walk on court and play tennis, she can certainly do a desk job.

There’s also a process to notify authorities of potential fraud.

I hope she gets busted.

There was a story recently of some woman who won an athletic competition. After result was posted online, her disability was taken away.

SSA is way overburdened. If she's taking LTD from a federal agency, the agency's OIG will be much more responsive and have the resources. Fraud, waste, abuse.

A woman in Ireland lost a more than $800,000 in an injury lawsuit stemming from a car crash after photos showed her launching a Christmas tree during a post-holiday competition – and winning the event.

Kamila Grabska, 36, sued an insurance agency in the country, RSA Insurance, after a 2017 car crash she claimed caused her debilitating neck and back pain that

Who are you to call her a name and say she's "taking advantage."

Where did OP call her a name? The only things OP called her are "fed" and "neighbor."

Not OP. The PP who called the woman in question a "scumbag" and said she was "taking advantage."

She has no evidence of either.

And OP has no evidence of wrongdoing, either, despite the heavy insinuation in her completely inappropriate post.

As usual, ignorant people on this thread are conflating "disability" with "motor disability" and fixating on tennis and travel as proof this person is well enough to sit and focus for long periods of time in front of a computer. They don't see it's an entirely different set of activities. The complete opposite, in fact.

There are MANY other types of disabilities apart from the motor-based ones. Clearly, this person cannot sit and focus. She may have diminished cognitive abilities, executive function and processing speed, and these would show up at her work well before it would impact a recreational sport or sightseeing tours.

It's not hard to understand, but the point of the jealous people isn't to understand. It's just to be jealous. I bet you'd rather have the full use of your brain and have paid work rather than be dependent on your spouse and be fuzzy-brained for ever.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

I just got covid for the first time, my worst manifested symptoms were intense body aches and joint pain - I took Paxlovid, took great care of myself and I’m into my second month with covid joint pain and officially diagnosed with long covid.

I’m very, very grateful that I don’t have the kaleidoscope of symptoms that many others do, including cognitive dysfunction that makes it difficult or impossible to do a job that is largely based in critical thinking and memory based skills.

I took a lovely walk with my dog today - I experienced pain the entire time, but as it turns out, decades of studies have shown that the very best treatment of musculoskeletal pain is movement.

A friendly game of tennis would be good movement for many folks managing viral arthritis.

Disability isn’t a huge paycheck for most people - certainly not SSDI. Maybe with the federal job disability on top it’s a nicer paycheck but nobody’s getting rich on it and as a one time legal aid attorney who assisted paralegals who worked on SSDI claims, I can attest that it is not an easy system to game, despite misconceptions.

By all means OP if you think your neighbor is a disability cheat you should make a report so she can be investigated.

Very very easy to get if you know how to. I know a bunch of people on it who don't need it they just know how to work the system.

Notify her employer with the result.

No, don't do that. People like this PP are going to burn in Hell for all eternity for doing things like this. Don't be like this nasty, sorry excuse for a human.
