Checking Facebook To See Whether Claimant Disabled?

United Press International (I thought they were out of business) is reporting that a Canadian court has ordered a search of the hard disk drive of a man applying for disability benefits from the provincial insurance agency to see how much time he has spent visiting Facebook. This was felt to be probative.

  1. Hmmm. Probative. Uh huh. Probing, mayhap. Maybe he's claiming DIB for carpal tunnel, she said, groping wildly for a reason to do this. The Canadians are generally very sensible and I doubt they're just fishing. Wow. This is a new one.
