In other news, the ability to work greatly enhances people's economic circumstances.

In other news people claim they are disabled and file a claim because they want to be poor?

No, because they don't know it will make them poor. Then they go back to work while still on disability and get a giant overpayment that haunts them till they die.

@ Anon 1:38 and 1:15,

Yes, you and I agree water is wet, and the Pope is Catholic, and working greatly enhances people's economic circumstances.

Yet I still see decisions from ALJs who find claimants not credible because they have a financial incentive to claim they are disabled and not work, when that is obviously false, as we have established, to a Pope/Catholic water/wet degree.

As an ALJ, the ones I hate are the ALJ's that find people are not credible when they don't have medical records to back up their claims and they have no insurance because they are homeless or broke, Geeesh...

Yeah, well...it may not diminish their credibility, but that shouldn't work to enhance their crdibility, either. It's a wash.

The Agency requires supporting documentation for disability. No medical records, no disability.
