How come this isn't talked about enough? It seems like every week I meet someone or cross paths with them and find out they're disabled and collect from the government. But then last week, I met a pipe insulator on a job and he started asking me questions about where he should start and things like that. He was talking kind of funny and it dawned on me he was deaf. I have a lot of respect for him because it seems like most people would lawyer up and settle for $1300 a month and just eek through life. Not him, he was a happy person and would rather get up and go to work in the morning. Why can't other people do the same? I have an Uncle that uses his disability card and it drives my family crazy. I rarely talk to him on the phone but one time we were talking and he mentioned how he was working as a welder. I said "aren't you disabled?" He said he could work so many hours a week and not lose his benefits. I hate to say it, but it looks like some are veterans and they look very able bodied too. My uncle is one of them. He claims headaches are his disability.
