Thank you Tamar,
For ranting for me.
The percentage of "able bodied" people who are on disability is less than 1%
That was established during a "shake up" when all people on disability were being reassessed for their eligibility.

Considering that disability does not provide enough money for a lifestyle even close to comfortable, and the consistant degradation of being on it, I think it's highly unlikely that anyone who is psychologically able to work would choose it as a sole income.
They may not fit into a psychiatric category, but there is definitely a psychiatric issue there. And for the amount you have to beg, and plead and and worry and wait in lines, in many ways it's more "work" and far more soul-killing than a job itself. I've done both, I know what of I speak.
I keep hearing about these able-bodied people on social assistance benefits, but I haven't met one yet. I've also asked people who they know of, when they speak of these folks undeserving, and I honestly haven't recieved an answer, they just "know"
