Disability leeches and moochers

Saw on the news that some lady who claimed she was 100% disabled was caught on the Price is Right spinning the big wheel for the Showcase Showdown, also running down the stairs when her name was called, and jumping up/down and hugging Drew Carey
This is why I am skeptical of everyone on disability, I know there are some people who really are paralyzed or disabled, but it seems like there is a lot of people who lie and aren't really disabled, but claim it anyway and get awarded the disability payments.
The worst are the people who claim a mental disability. That can be faked easily.
There needs to be a law that anyone who lies about disability has to pay back all of their funds in full then get their asses thrown in jail for a few years to think about what they have done. If I went to a bank and robbed it, I would get a lot of years, how is robbing taxpayers any different?

You should be. I know people that work in dealing with disability claims. A decent number are actually injured but far too many see the dollar signs.

Something similar happened at my place of work. Guy got hurt at work, back injury. Filed a suit against the company and won. Said he was disabled to do the job he was hired for because his back was forever injured. Got something like 1.5 million.
Several months later he was photographed by company detectives chopping firewood in his back yard. I'm pretty sure some kind of resettlement was made with him returning much of the money he had received.
In something similar, guy at work called in sick for his weekend assignment. So what happens. Guy's picture is splattered all over the sports page in the paper Monday showing his prize catch of bass in a tournament he won. Cost him his job.

I live in a neighborhood that has several retired Air Force officers. A couple years ago I was sitting with about 3 that was discussing how to get disability benefits going before retirement. One Lt Col gets disability because of a sleep disorder that he developed within a year of retiring. This scumbag got a disability plate and everything. What really pisses me off is when he and his wife, that recently ran in the New Orleans Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon, parks in a handicap zone. Our country has lost its morals and convictions across the board.

that was a good 20/20. Or all the PTSD cops from 9/11, many of which got $150,000 in tax payer sourced payouts.

People bitch about welfare and food stamps, but "disability" benefits are truly the most egregious examples of destructive waste. It's so. fricking. Huge.

One of my coworkers husband is on disability for back issues and has been for a few years. He gets about 3k a month in benefits plus Medicare. He is going before a judge in May to have his case reviewed. I asked his wife what are they going to do if he gets denied. She's said he will go go back to working at the local plant. I was like wtf.

Well it's better than bitching about Cadillac driving Louisiana purchase users.

The phony's really make it tough for the people who actually need it. Lady I work withs husband hurt his back almost a year ago on the job. Doctor said he needed surgery, company didn't want to pay so they found a doctor who would say he didn't need surgery, just therapy. So lady I work with and her husband find a second doctor that also thinks surgery is necessary, but the company is still fighting it. They haven't seen a dime since he has been unable to work

A blind man, a paraplegic, and a redneck are sitting in a bar when Jesus walks in.
The blind man tells the bartender: "I feel the presence of The Lord. Send him a cup of coffee, and put it on my tab."
The paraplegic tells the bartender: "I see that Jesus is sitting over there sipping coffee. Please send him a sandwich and put it on my bill."
The redneck asks the bartender: "Say, ain't that God's boy sittin' over there? Send him over a shot of Wild Turkey, tell him it's from me."
Jesus gets up and approaches the blind man: "Thank you for your generosity. It has been your salvation." He then touches the blind man's eyes, and suddenly, the blind man can see.
Jesus then approaches the paraplegic: "Thank you for your generosity. It has been your salvation." He then touches the legs of the paraplegic, who promptly jumps out of his wheelchair and dances a jig.
Jesus then approaches the redneck, who shouts: "DON'T TOUCH ME, I'M ON DISABILITY!!!"
