Actually it’s not always. Plenty of doctors who sign false disability claims. I work in insurance fraud and I’d certainly be interested in this matter.

It’s easy to judge when you don’t have details.

She could have trouble thinking. Hosting a book club is easier than working a job.

It was pickleball. Doesn't count. My 95 year old neighbor plays it.

OP here. No, real tennis. And I know she is on disability because her husband told my husband.

I imagine she had to be hospitalized at some point for COVID : possibly intubated or close to it . Otherwise, how can she scam about “long COVID” without an inpatient stay? I don’t think you can go to urgent care once , test positive , and then three months later, say you are still suffering

A federal job? Probably about the same.

Many psychiatrists and NP’s these days get harrased to write disability letters for patients or emotional support dog letters.

There are people who will pay 600 intake and 200 dollars for an initial visit all to claim they get anxiety and heart palpitations on the job and suffer from “poor executive functioning”. Once they get the letter , they never return for services .

It may be a scam or she may have an invisible disability that means she can't do her old job. You don't know what happens in other people's lives.

Hosting the book club is harder because they have to remember what they read

If she had trouble thinking, how is she hosting a book club?

I wonder how she was able to scam with “long COVID” without being hospitalized.

The insurance policy is paying her. Why do you care?

Its for actual disabled people. If you can read and discuss a novel and plan elaborate vacations, you can push paper at your desk job.

That’s not his disability insurance works.

If I’m a computer programmer and I have a brain injury and can’t do that job but can travel and play tennis, I’m still disabled

Where/who do you think that money comes from?

It comes from an insurance company she paid.

Where do you think the money comes from?

Clearly, not on Social Security disability she’s on a private disability plan.

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.

That is not how disability works. Disability pays you if you can’t do. YOUR job, it doesn’t matter if you could do another job.
