Applying For Social Security Disability

Applying for Social Security Disability By Elton Camp Whenever unemployment comes to rise Applying for disability seems quite wise Those who try to get by doing that way Are increasing greatly almost every day Some, of course, truly do have disability Many are really looking to get money free And they see no good reason as to why It would be wrong even to tell a big lie “My back hurts so terrible I can’t stand. And I have little control of either hand.” The claimant knows it’s very hard to say That they don’t really feel just that way Once the person begins to draw a check Even if he works, it is very hard to detect Especially if the boss they do prove able To get to pay them underneath the table But the risk is that if fraud can be shown It’s payback and perhaps to prison gone And so many are getting money that way Funds will soon run out, or so they say

Nick, I live in the USA and the poem describes the actual situation relative to folks trying to get disability. It is out of control. Elton
