The letter actually refutes that assertion, and says that some people <b>would</b> be put back to work. However some of these people would later become disabled (it's simply a risk of working, or living, for that matter) and when they do, some proportion of them would now be DIB-insured by virtue of the work found through vocational services and thus eligible for higher benefits. <br /><br />And the letter goes on to say that another offsetting factor is that vocational services also help some actually disabled people file more effective applications for disability, thus helping them to get benefits. What's wrong with that - other than that it would come out of a Republican-designed plan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
