Because Democrats have so bastardized the disability requirements that merely being a cross-dressing male makes a person eligible for disability. You'd be shocked by the utterly frivolous lifestyle choices that make a person eligible for disability as Democrats have expanded the criteria over and over again.

I work for SSA and do disability claims for a living. This is a lie. Disability criteria has not changed meaningfully in the last two decades. The biggest change made it harder, not easier to qualify for disability based on mental impairments (12.00 impairments) or musculoskeletal impairments (1.00 impairments). For a mental only disability you generally need schizophrenia, psychosis, very severe bipolar that doesn’t respond to treatment or a very low IQ.

It’s also very, if you are under 55. Even over 55, it’s unlikely if you’ve done skilled or higher level semi skilled work in the last 5 years.

Also, if active substance abuse contributes to your disability, you don’t qualify.

And yes, a large percent of applicants are vets.

Get your facts right.

Thank you for the actual FACTS.

People like the OP are total jerks.

They also fail to realize what cutting off disability benefits will mean to the rest of us: shocking homelessness and soaring crime.

Think India. You want to live among beggars?

Thank you for your service. I am glad our tax dollars are available to people like you.

+1 Yes, always!

Back in the old days, lots of the people sent off to war or who had serious medical issues just died. Nowadays, more survive, but they're not intact. Eg super preemies, cancer patients dialysis patients. It's hard to find a job that works around 3xweekly dialysis sessions.

There was a small scandal about how mamy airlines pilots with military background were collecting VA benefits for mental health issues yet not reporting it to the FAA as required by law. VA wasn’t talking to the FAA so directly.

People can’t afford to retire so apply for benefits. Especially older Americans in their 50’s and 60’s who have trouble finding work or people living in poor areas where jobs are not easily available.

Correct. Just fill out the form and some former practicing doctor at Walter reed approves it via his laptop. More benies for life.

This.

It attracts the loser types who’d rather spend time selfishly gaming the system than doing anything productive.

They use the handicap parking spaces too even though it’s a psychological injury, which is odd because I’ve always thought those spaces were for people in wheelchairs and physically limiting disabilities.

Politicians don’t want to address this because it’s political suicide but we are all getting ripped off.

This is my BIL except he also gets free in-state tuition for his kids, in addition to the above. Plus his retirement pay. I believe the 100% disability pay AND the retirement pay are both tax free in VA.

How about we do some extrapolation from your quad example. Being a quad and being able to work requires a lot in the way of both skills and supports. Perhaps, if your previous work was in an area that required only intellectual skills, if you became paralyzed by an accident that yielded a high enough settlement to pay for all the medical and personal care you needed and modifications for your home and transportation and technologies to enable to to perform that job, possibly. Or if you were already wealthy enough to afford these costs. But you also have to be "lucky" enough that someone else was 100% liable for your injury, it did not involve a worker's comp claim, and if it occurred in the course of medical care you were able to prove the provider absolutely failed to meet standard of care (80% of malpractice claims that go to trial lose). If you don't have a way to pay for 24/7 personal care on a vent, you are going to be living in a long-term acute care facility.

How many disabled people do you know? If they aren't working, do you ask them why? Do you ask them if they would prefer to be working, and what it would take for them to be able to? Most of the time, someone who is on disability has also been out of the workforce for awhile (since if not, you do not qualify) so besides whatever barriers they face due to the disability itself, including the possibility that they cannot possibly perform their former work, they are looking at a gap in the resume, which means either the gap is going to affect their odds of being considered (AI at work!) or they have to disclose the disability in order to explain the gap at the outset. Most employers are not going to go out of their way to promote hiring of people w/disabilities (plus now that is DEI and considered bad) if they can select candidates from people who do not present possible challenges, including fear of liability.

DC pays the most, per captial, in federal taxes in the country. But it serves as a city and state, so of course it gets some of the same block grants that every state gets. But it also covers things like police functions for federal and foreign officials that other states do not, so there re reimbursements for that. There is no more "federal payment" so the things the federal government is paying for is not charity, it is renumeration for services provided by the DC government to the federal government.

I'm sure there are some people collecting disability who don't really need/deserve it, but I think the vast majority needs the support and deserves the support.

Exactly. What's crazy is to send so many young men and women to do unspeakable things in the name of war for the owner class, and then act surprised their minds and bodies are effed. Want less broken people? Maybe stop tossing them into the machine.

Well said. For decades our CIA has been corrupted as hell.
