[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can find a good disability lawyer who will get you through the hoops to qualify. It will cost you, but in the long run you can really make out. I was in the healthcare field and I had patients eventually go this route. The sad thing is there were foreigners who somehow knew the system and would get all kinds of benefits courtesy of Uncle Sam, but patients who were US citizens were getting turned down.[/quote]

Doesn't everyone get turned down the first time?

I can't believe depression is considered a disability and something you can get paid for considering there are plenty of courses of treatment for it.

[b]I think disability is a  huge scam [/b]and I would eagerly vote for any President who would declare his intention to do away with the program and make it so stringent that a very narrow margin of individuals would be eligible.  [/quote]

Well, people become disabled all the time.  In fact, disability insurance coverage is, statistically speaking, far more frequently used than life insurance is.

My DH has MS and I pray daily that he can keep working.  At some point he may not be able to, and I would hope that if that happens, he is eligible for SS (he has paid in for decades of course).  He has been denied both disability and life insurance coverage because of the MS, so if SS disability were to go away, he'd be completely dependent on my income.

We would manage, of course - but IMO disability coverage is very much NOT a scam, and is very necessary for some people.[/quote]
