Well, what we have here in the US are two programs... The first is Social Security Disability where if you are at work and are seriously disabled from an injury you can tap into it... The second is SSI which is for folks who are unable to work because of mental illness or other disabilities unrelated to work...

Yeah, reckon there are folks who got on these programs that are scamming the system but it rally ain't all that easy to scam the system as most applicants are turned down... Had a lot of SSI recipients when I was a social worker... Most were well deserving... I mean, like crazy people is like, ahhhhh, crazy and they can't help it but...

...SSI ain't much money so all these folks were living in poverty... Ya'll see these folks walkin' down the street arguing with themselves... Lotta them... All living in absolute poverty... SSI is a joke...
