if you're able to complete disability paperwork, then you're not disabled...

there's actually a fair amount of lawyers who specialize in getting people their disability rights, rather than let malicious compliance keep disabled people homeless and impoverished

I don't think his friend can do that so you good

Your second statement makes that very clear but I'm guessing people didn't get that far.

Unfortunately there is some truth that if you have a qualifying (mental) condition you almost be definition are incapable of jumping through the hoops to actually be bureaucratically qualified.

there's a lot of truth to it.
i mean, it's almost completely true.
people at social security have been downright abusive to my brother, who has been qualifyingly disabled since about 15 years old...

I pulled my down vote after reading further and realizing your were making a joke. The problem is that I've met too many people who actually believe that.
