(37,648 posts)The fraud I was talking about...was that the people were NOT disabled at all. Healthy, big men who were suing over boat repairs because they go fishing and skiing, suing over the home repairs he did for someone to make extra money (he was supposedly disabled), etc. She asks the nature of the disabilities...always a vague problem with the back or whatever.
Groups of people suing each over over injuries from drunken brawls, and they are all on SSDI. JJ will point out they need to get jobs, so they don't have so much time on their hands to have drunken brawls.
A few of the people involved in litigation, their jobs come into the case somehow, but it also comes out they are also getting disability.
When you see it over and over, you get to recognize it. Just as she does...she's been a judge for over 40 years. Some are on disability, and it does seem legitimate.
College aid is another government benefit, and therefore similar to SSDI, which is a government benefit. There is fraud in every system, every program.
