Wish the programs were fair to all, easier for those than need the help yesterday....

It's not anyone's business why a person is receiving SSI or SSDI--including a person's relatives. Are there people that are receiving benefits that shouldn't? Yes. But, it's a slippery slope when you start relating these type of third party stories. How would you feel if a friend of one of your relatives was posting online about you? Or if a neighbor or acquaintance was talking about you locally? Questioning how you spend your time and if you're really disabled?
Watching tv and drinking beer is not illegal, btw.
