Social Security Disability

Brian applied for disability a year ago. He's been sent to a number of doctors for tests and exams, and every one has said he qualifies. He is now on oxygen 24/7, and his eyesight is blurry part of each day because of his diabetes. And the medical disability board still can't figure out that he's disabled. I'm starting to think that they purposely delay approval for benefits hoping that the applicant will die before they have to pay off. One of my co-workers lost her husband a couple of years ago. His approval came in in the mail 2 days before he died, but since he didn't live long enough for a check to be issued, the family got NOTHING. We pay in for years, limiting our ability to save for our own needs, and then, when we need it . . . . . . You want something to be expensive and inefficient? Let the government do it!
