I HIGHLY DOUBT IT IS EVEN .001% of #disabled people who turn out to be faking..

#WhoWouldFakeThis

There’s literally no upside.

By the time you went through everything a person trying to get in #disability has to go through to get and keep that PALTRY check?

You would be in the red.

You would OWE money. #WhoWouldFakeThis

And that's if you were an excellent actor, and ONLY had to fake what was necessary to either keep benefits or to fake the need to start with.

But let’s say 1% of disabled people were faking.

Is the chance that 1 out if 100 are faking worth the suffering, pain and death of the other 99?

#WhoWouldFakeThis

It's the exact same logic as voting fraud. If you do it by accident? FIVE years in prison.

I have BLOOD RELATIVES that I would not risk five years in prison for.

Not behind a gatdamn lie.

#WhoWouldFakeDisability? Almost no one.

It's a struggle to get on.

People die waiting.

Once you're in it you have to STAY POOR.

It's less than poverty.

You can hardly own anything.

If you live rent-free they don't LL Ash your benefits.

It's not worth it.

It's not like with those of you who fudge your taxes every year & play with some numbers & never get caught.

There's no automated phone tree and BAM you're on disability.

If you read all this and you STILL think faking it is easy, do me this favor.

Without asking for any help from anything or anyone but Google, wait until you are have worked a full day, are cranky and sore.

Pick a disability or illness that you think a disabled person would get disability benefits for.

Now, go find out everything you would be eligible for in your state if you were poor & disabled.

Figure out how to apply.

Next go through the process of *just collecting the info you need* if you had any of the eligible conditions disability covers.

#WhoWouldFakeThis

Here's a hint - many illnesses ARE NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE for disability.

NOT ALL CANCERS are eligible. This is how I found out the cancer I have doesn't have a real remission.

That's why I would have been eligible during my symptomatic window with nothing else wrong with me I'd it weren't for the 6 other major disabilities I have.

If it takes you less than a week to even

- figure out IF you are eligible
- find out what you are eligible for
- pretend to gather all the paperwork & info from the doctors?

Then you probably missed something.

#WhoWouldFakeThis

In which case you would get rejected.

This is you doing it as an abled person who is just Tired and cranky.

As a a faker you now have to find a doctor willing to lose their medical license to help you.

We can't even get some doctors to do their ACTUAL JOBS.

#WhoWouldFakeThis

That's just the beginning. You're like 1% of the way into the process.

Quit your job yet?

Get rid of all the assets you can't keep?

You divorced? If you're not rich don't count on getting married. If you're married now you'll have to split up.

#WhoWouldFakeThis

Unless you're rich. But then why would you go through this?

Did you move out to live by yourself?

Can you find a place that will let you pay half of your $700 to $1400 a month income on rent?

Does such a place exist near you or must you move?

You think you're tired READING this??

This what you'd have to do to fake it! You could be catching up on Game of Thrones!?

#WhoWouldFakeThis

#WhoWouldFakeDisability?

No one with an ounce of sense.

You could be a receptionist

or work at a fast food restaurant
or be a waitress
or deliver food
or do some gig economy side hustle

and make way more!

Part time!

And get to keep it!

#WhoWouldFakeThis? No one.
