Oh is that the "witch" you are referring to. ha I didn't expect her to show up, didn't expect any of them to show up, but especially her. I PM'd her to point out to her that many companies hire the handicapped to get the government grants. It's their "token" handicapped person. Also not every handicapped person is disabled.

If a person with an office job is in as wheel chair, they can still perform their duties. If a plumber is in a wheel chair, he is pretty much disabled.

Very sad, in my opinion, that you chose to start this up rather than let it die when that thread was closed last night. I am finished discussing the details of it all with you. I have voiced my opinion and that is enough.

As to your last paragraph, clearly you don't know the standards that must be met to be approved for Social Security Disability. Many pensions have the standard that one must be considered unable to perform in their job description in order to be considered disabled. Social Security does not have the same standards....they actually look at whether a person can work at ALL in a job. I would have to look at the exact wording again, but I do know it is not what you said.
