It wasn't my intention to indicate anyone on the board receiving disability did not need it. I was just indicating that there are many abuses in disability and any government program. That makes it difficult on those who really need it. I think it is wonderful for those who need it and GOD bless you. I know you would give up the $$'s for your health.

If you really know cheaters, there must be some way to report them.
I have found that the older you get and the longer you are on SSDI the less they hassle you. I think the feeling is that you are only going to get more ill and older. I finally realized that even if a cure were found tomorrow, I would never be 28 again.
