A girl I use to work with just stopped bye to visit her girlfriend at work.
She showed us her paperwork.
After getting shot down by SSDI twice Bender and Bender got her a
settlement of 72K (4 Years back pay) and $1800 per month.
What is wrong with her..... Nothing..... She is bi-polar.
What a joke......
She said that they base her payment on how much she was making
at her job.
She lost her job (layed off) 4 years ago and she collected unemployment
for 99 weeks.
If she did not get layed off, she would still be working here.

If that settlement is for real, I would guess it's coming from the employer's insurance company, not the Social Security administration, since a settlement like that would open the floodgates ... or there's something more to the woman's diagnosis than bipolar.
SSI has always been an issue, remember an 18 year old girl who was very happy because she got on SSI because she essentially could not read..
Time and time again there are drug addicts who live off of SSI.. not sure the answer, but in the past "protective payments" have usually led to theft by the person receiving the payment..
Bi Polar is not a completely disabling issue, it can be controlled with meds and treatment, it would make more sense that SSI in this case be conditional dependent on her cooperation with tx and some type of retraining.
OTOH always need to be wary of hearsay information.. or what someone told you someone said.

Actually, drug addicts do not get SSI. That said, many drug addicts have other problems as well, such as psychosis, schizophrenia, PTSD, or serious physical injury. I'm sure every now and then someone manages to sneak through, since there are addicts who apply and reapply.

Am acutely aware of dual diagnosis.. the issue is what comes first the addictions or the mental illness???.. either way to just give someone a blank check with no conditions for life is wrong..

Think about what you typed. While addicts won't get it for being an adict, they will get it because they'll be diagnosed as having a mental disorder of some kind because, well, they are an addict.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." Leo Tolstoy, 1897
My personal favorite, are the 20 and 30 somethings that walk into my office looking for an apartment, who list their SSDI disability check as income. The saddest part is that the majority of them can barely speak english. Only in America!
