This happened in Kentucky, but I'm sure it happens a lot more than we realize. There are huge profits to be made by those bilking the system. I can't imagine why anyone would want to be classified as disabled when s/he wasn't, but I guess if a person isn't bothered by the idea of stealing from taxpayers and violating federal laws, there isn't a lot that would bother them. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/5/social-security-fraud-ring-busted-by-federal-agent/
Yes, of course this kind of thing is reprehensible, but overall, it is on a tiny scale compared to tax evasion by rich individuals and even richer multinational companies. I get an awful lot angrier about that.
I get angry about it all. It especially disgusts me when the little people are punished and the large offenders get away with it, particularly when they escape punishment because they're connected to those in power. I believe when someone is entrusted with power and accepts that role, s/he needs to be held accountable, even more so than ordinary citizens.
Yet those like myself who do have debilitating conditions jump through hoops to try to get it. Only to be denied more than once. I have to wonder how these people manage to pull it off. Sad thing is though they are the ones who make it harder for those of us in need of the benefits to actually get them.
