44. Yes
I personally know at least 4 people who could hold down a desk job fine without any problems whatsoever, but they're on disability for various reasons that have nothing to do with their ability to sit upright, walk around malls, go shopping, or play on the computer. Their "disabilities" are chronic pains of some sort or another, but there are plenty of non-physical jobs they could handle with no problem whatsoever.

One of them even decided to divorce her husband, 1 year from his retirement (and not in the greatest health), for reasons that seemed to legitimately bewilder him and everyone who knows them. She mows her own goddamned grass but she's disabled? My fucking ass. He's going to end up dying before he's able to retire now.
