If the guideline is $1000/mo and this person was earning $800 below the amount, they are making about $200/mo, which is not enough for any person to live on unless they are getting free housing and food. At least, $200/mo wouldn't be enough for me unless I was getting a lot of things for free.
Still, I agree that in this case, if the original poster is working and not under a doctor's care, he or she should be able to ask for more hours and would be able to support himself/herself.

Benefits can be ceased because of work activity without medical recovery or because of medical recovery without work activity. The poster actually did both - went to work and decided he didn't need medical care for his disabling condition. What we don't know is if the original poster is choosing to work and earn under $1000 when he could work more. He said he took the job to supplement the Social Security.
