I doubt there's more than five people who have deliberately gotten themselves into disability by getting themselves fat. It's incredibly hard to get onto disability and "I am fat" doesn't cut it, you have to be able to not move to have even a chance

    My mother is clinically diagnosed with a psychological disorder that caused hallucinations, anxiety and delusion. She tried to get disability for 30 years. She never got it even though she was institutionalized multiple times

    Yeah. My brother in law has severe physical and mental disabilities which makes him unable to work at all and he can't get on. Been trying for a decade and a half. It's like these people think you can send a letter to the government saying "I am fat and lazy" and you'll get money.
