We could save a boatload of money by making everyone re-apply for SS Disability. Most of them only got it because they used a lawyer

And here I am at 70 years old and trying to draw SS and can’t get in on-line and all of the field offices are closed. It’s been very frustrating.

The only way that anyone gets SSDI is via lawyer. It's a huge pay for play for those kinds of lawyers. The lawyers get 40% of the backpay and they only put in about 2-3 hours worth of work - because the system is designed to reject everyone the first, second, and maybe third time.

It's corrupt, easily.

That has not been my experience. In fact, plenty of truly disabled people do not get the help they need. Now, are there lying bums who just want a check who get it? Hell yes there are. And plenty of them too - people who have ruined their health with sodomy, booze and drugs. But the Disability System is what keeps many sick people from living in a tent on the street. And take the money - who really gets most of it for the legitimately sick? Landlords, grocery stores, utility companies, gas stations, auto insurance companies. Most recipients are not getting rich on SSDI. That has been my experience.
