Would you go on disability if you weren't actually disabled?

How do you fake MS? There are tests for MS.

she didn't have a medical track record saying that she has M.S. she told me that she never had to take any test even related to M.S. except for one. she said that she just kept going to doctors and emergency rooms telling doctors that she had been diagnosed, but can't remember where (because of the M.S messing up her memory lol). they just took her word for it, and wrote it in her medical records. she did say that the one test she did came up normal. they are just going on the fact that the doctors kept writing down and treating for M.S when she went to see them. i promise you, the whole scam from start to finish took about a year. i watched her scam in it's baby stage. she is really really a con artist. you don't know the things she has pulled off.

yep. i can't tell you how desperate she was not to have to work. she put her self into some really bad situations with guys over it. until, she finally go this company to help her get on social security. i remember the night when she said she was going to go to the mental to stay because they told her in order to get social security for mental illness, one of the requirements was whether she ever stayed in the hospital or not. i will never respect her for faking to be on social security. her mother is the same way. she even went and had this program pay for her a wheel chair to help out her social security claim of M.S.

i think both are to blame. the doctors are not going to their house and asking them the file for disability. people think of the scam and get up and go do it. it's the one who is claiming fault. bunch of lazy son of a b&^(#!es

I know it can be difficult to get disability. However, it seem like in this particular article that people are getting in because the Dr who is writing the original paperwork knows what they are doing so people will not be denied. I do not have the article pulled up at the moment, however, in one of the towns almost all of the So I am thinking 1. the Dr knows what to write and 2. the SSDI office that is local KNOWS there are very few jobs for these folks (like the people whose Mill close and were displaced workers) and they are letting folks slip through the chain. Now, my husband was told that since he was unable to do his job in the military he qualified for disability. When he applied he was turned down - even though the case worker at the office said he'd 100% get it - because the Dr said he could still go to work, not just do his job. I have a feeling that is why some people get turned down.

yes, you see you have to show that you can't work at all. that your symptoms are so bad it stops you from working anything. it may seem hard to get it in some states. in others it's not. in the state i live in all you have to do is get involved with this free program called HAC. even if you don't have a medical track record, they will still help you get approved. that's how my sister in law did hers. they told her everything she needed to do to qualify with no valid medical history. it's a shame. it's a racket. the whole thing is not fair.

In this particular instance it seems like the Dr's are on their side. I have known people who were denied myself. My MIL, for example, was told by her Dr she was disabled and had all of these issues. So she filed, was denied. So, she ended up switching Drs and that Dr found different issues. Long story short, she ended up having 2 minor surgeries that solved her problems, she went back to school and is now employed even though she had pain for years and years from a car accident and that kept her from being employed. I understand why the system is tough to get money from, she is a prime example as to why.

Oh yes, the paperwork from the doctors have a lot with SSD's decision on yah or nay....
