Disability rules are extremely obtuse and unclear to both social security workers and people who need the benefits. See also: this npr story about similar bs.. Fiscal conservatives seem to think that if they make these programs punitive and stressful enough then the people who rely on them will simply stop being disabled (or stop existing).
There’s because they assume these people are faking it. Because that’s what they would do because, they’re just a shitty person.
Bingo.
As a depressed person applying, I haven’t even gotten a response for my file and I know I’ll be denied because I’ve never met someone approved the first time.
I gave up my first three attempts at filing alone, because a lack of executive drive & a pessimistic mindset make me prefer your option B. It makes me feel obligated to go back to pretending I’m okay, disregarding my burnout - or stop existing. I mean existentially it can’t get much worse than the hells I’ve seen humans inflict on one another.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s intentionally demoralizing and so fucking unnecessarily cruel. Please hang in there, I truly hope you can get approved soon.
I have no love for the military, but the people in charge will get up our asses about how we have to support our troops and then they’ll stab them in the back. That’s the country we live in.
“Support the troops” in this context is code for “Let us give unlimited tax money to weapons contractors”.
Hm wonder why they’re having so much trouble recruiting? 🤔
And it’s a mystery as to why military enrollment is so low…
