After reading about so many denied cases, it is amazing ANYONE ever gets approved. I have read some Federal court cases and find it difficult to believe that some of these people are still denied benefits with their ailments and limitations.

I just find it very hard to understand how the disability system could be scammed with their very tough regulations. It appears to me that there are many deserving people that are denied. I just do not understand the claims of abuse that I am hearing about in the news.
