If you are a young person on SSI (meaning you never worked long enough to get job credits) exactly what is your disablity?

[Anonymous]

I think because the taxpayers are paying for YOU when you never worked or only worked  a little, we should know what it is.

I am not on ssi or disability, but as a taxpayer, it is NOT my right to know about others medical disabilities, nor is it yours.

My fiance gets SSI. He has Aspergers and has literally been unable to get a job because of his disability. But that's because of employers thinking he's unable to work. We both know he can and he plans on starting his own business as soon as we are financially able.

Does he volunteer the information that he has Aspergers?

Ignorant people make me go "hhmmmmm".

LOL   People that misuse and abuse the word "ignorant" make me giggle.

yeah, my son with developmental disabilities resulting from a rare disease he contracted at 18 months old is lazy.  despite the fact that he struggled through school and managed, despite said disabilities, to graduate with honors last month; despite the fact that he's starting college next month (paid for not by loans or grants, but by us, because we saved for it); despite the fact that he applies for jobs CONSTANTLY because he desperately wants to work, and has yet to get hired due to said disabilities.

also despite the fact that his tiny SSI check wouldn't even cover rent.

Quoting ElitestJen:

Laziness.

 

You're mad.  Bless your heart.

It is not easy to get on disability most people even get denied the first time. Hell I have very documented problems and it took me two years to get ssdi.

Its pretty easy.  It just takes patience.  Its MUCH easier to get on now than before 1984.

95% of ppl get denied that's why you have to appeal it.
