I lost me left leg above knee in a carjacking in July of last year and I'm getting just over half of my rent a month crazy how I went from having my own place trailer car dog all by myself an now I'm scrambling to get help to get by landlord even gave me a verbal eviction notice drives me insane that people get twice the help for bein on drugs or faking some illnesses...

This pisses me off my husband had 2 strokes with in 14 days apart, that left him paralyze on the right side and it took him 1 and 1/2 years to get on disability.
That's what makes it so hard for people like your husband to get on disability. These scumbags lie and play the system that makes it hard for anyone that actually needs it.
I believe there is a fasttrack system for strokes to start payments within a few months! My sister in laws husband received his disability within less than 6 months. Severe stroke!
@@melissadehart9306 What good is backpay when you have lost everything IE: House, Car etc... while waiting to receive what is rightly due you. SSDI is not welfare. Every working person pays for this insurance. I find it disgusting how people who become disabled have this extra added stress heaped onto them, for no good reason other than our government doesn't want to pay out what we working people have paid for through the decades. FYI ... 99% of SSDI applicants have to hire an attorney, of which 25% of the back pay due you is paid to the attorney. How long can you survive without an income, one year, a year and a half? Most likely far less. People who scam the system should go to prison and be mandated to pay back every penny back with interest, but don't throw everyone under the bus just because of a few bad apples.
@@solomoon3083 Its a way of people who have to go through hardships because of this type of person to express their objection. There are disabled persons with severe conditions and their families that have to prove that they are not like this type of guy. This would not happen if this type of guy did not exist. Said this way to make a long story short.
The Music Band a year??!! There are people who wait for 10. I don’t know why they’re doing stories like this because I feel like it probably happens extremely rarely. Meanwhile there are tons more people who need it and do not get it.
Maybe, however it was expensive for me to get my doctors to fill out the paperwork. My Therapist for example charges 50, my psychiatrist charges 40, along with my 10 other doctors it can really add up. But, there definitely should be a better system in place. As someone who is actual disabled this really upsets me when ppl fake it! I know some people who are also very much disabled who have had a really hard time getting it because of jerks like him.
@@tinawindham6958 I'm permanently disabled & have never had an exam in the 10 years I've been on it. However, as I mentioned it's expensive to get those exams for the patients & I'm sure for the government. It's also very stressful. It actually isn't as easy as people think to get on disability. I personally have so many doctors & health issues that it was sufficiently proven I was disabled but I know others who only have 1 or 2 disabilities/ disabling issues that have had a very hard time applying & getting approved & they may even need a lawyer to appeal multiple times. And I'm talking about truly disabled people. I think because of the frauds like these it has made it such a hard process for them, the truly disabled. So upsetting!
I know of a guy who was disabled and was on disability. He was charged with disability fraud and the state brought pictures and video of the guy working in his yard, shopping and other activities where he appeared to have no trouble getting around. It looked like an open and shut case, until the guy came to court with the help of his identical twin brother. It was his brother in all the pictures. His bother doing his yard work and his shopping for him because he couldn't do it. The judge was pissed, saying that it was known the man had a twin brother, but they just assumed it was him.
I was wondering the same thing. Don't people need a doctor's recommendation to be on disability to actually get it. And even if a doctor gives the consent, the system usually will still fight it, which is why there are so many people that need to be on disability and can't. It's strange how they can get on disability just saying that they can't see.
I was born with several disabilities that keep me from standing or walking very long without immense pain and I keep getting denied for disability. This is disgusting.
I kind of wanna ask WHY they are denying you... but I live in Sweden, have severe mental illness and other neurological problems and they denied me (the second time). They deny cancer patients too. It's very disturbing.
@@---mb6vw I think it is because I am 30 years old and when I am able to work I make too much. Plus I have documented mental illnesses dating back to when I was 15. I have all the documentation and have sent it in again. Hopefully this time I get it, but even if I do the most I can receive is 880 a month. That's less than minimum wage. If I didn't have great family members that help I would still be homeless. I really just want the insurance so hopefully I can find a decent doctor so I can get help with the pain. Thank you for caring enough about my plight to at least comment.
Just keep appealing and appealing again and again. They always deny right from the start and it can take years before they finally take your case seriously, I had to go through this and my brother used to work for a disability determination office that dealt with military members, when he looked into cases that were sincere he wanted to approve them but he got in trouble because they wanted him to deny them because they had a quota to meet. They will deny people that have had their arms and legs blown off, its ridiculous. Be persistent and consider writing a letter to the head office (in Virginia I believe) on why they should approve you, don't bother with a lawyer, they just get a huge chunk of your money and you can already do what they can (gather records and so on), they will also drag your case out as long as they can so they collect a bigger percentage of your back pay once you're approved.
@@oscarmarroquin4374 and thats why people do what they do, taking advantage of the system which puts the tax payers in a bind as well. There are people that truly need disability and will have a harder time because of douchebags like these ppl. I have disability, i have cancer but its ovarian stage 4, nephrostomy tubes as well. And i cant WAIT for my doctors to tell me i can go back to work i dont want disability. Its driving me crazy lol
I used to be a photographer that worked for the insurance fraud investigators back in the 80's. Sitting for hours, sometimes days, just waiting for the subject to slip up. It was the most boring job I ever had, but it paid quite well.
So glad for people like you. Thankful you did your job. I know, however, the insurance company would rather just pay the "injured con" the 10K, rather than spend $ on attorneys.
Indeed it paid well. But it used to chap my hide spending time surveilling a victim who'd lost both hands in an OTJ accident or other clearly disabled individuals.
Twenty years ago I worked with a man, whose friend had a degenerative eye disease, that really did make him blind. To a certain extent that is. Because he passed his driver's test, & was considered legally blind. He was supposedly the only man in Kansas that could claim both, & they were proud of it. They said legally blind wasn't totally blind, & it could mean a lot of things.
No. Having him sit in prison benefits no one. He'd still be living on the tax payer dime. Make him work hard labor for restitution until it's fully repaid. NO RETIREMENT.
im disabled too we get money for 17 year careful with SS i do not buy people story like you guitarded your name has been there SS for fraud banned for lifetime.
My brother had MS and finally sent home from his job due to his falling and shaking. Filed and turned down several times before approved due to people like this who cause actual disabled people being given hard time.
Wow he sounds like us in how he is falling down and shaking! There's tons of disability fraud and they're not suppose to stay on i it. It's great they can do everything though for bring ing in all these foreigners but nothign for people from USA at all! they are bringing in nigerians and cubans like crazy!!! they get money to start a business, and foodstamps housing bills paid everything. Everyone has to pay for them. It's gonna be Nigeria and cuba here or something. but they will come in if htey let them apparently. they give them everything free. people here can't get any help at all. and here prositution is illegal! so how can we get money?!
I went Blind for 7 years. I had to go through blind school in Seattle. As a blind person, you know the layout of your house, how many steps from where you are to where you’re going. Your “Stick” (Blind cane) gives you a LOT of feedback on the types of terrain, stairs, what’s around you. Other than writing checks or reading your bills, you can function very independently. Computer’s have programs in which it can read to you. Other computer programs allow you to speak to your computer and it’ll type whatever you want. This idiot who claimed to be blind deserves prison with a mandatory blindfold until he’s released.
This! His disability application excerpts pissed me off! I've been blind since age six and just listening to the reporter read that out was infuriating! He is right that you "listen to" television. But there are descriptive shows now. Therefore, to be more correct in language terms you are "watching" the show. It's just a small thing, but dammit it means so much!
Can't pay taxes? I do hope you are referring to property taxes. In which case I might agree, but only if you bought a house that you could actually afford in the beginning. As for income taxes... Well, you have control over your own affairs. If you don't want to pay the IRS then I have no pity. As far as this guy... Well if he has a judgement against him to pay back what he stole he could still lose his house if he doesn't pay any of that amount back.
Most likely, the reason why they DIDN'T go after her because they cut her a deal to turn him in. The video even stated that she was the one who turned him in AFTER they went after her first.
@c anderson I really appreciate you taking the time to reply I will definitely give it a shot I am already sick a diet change can't hurt and you are right doctors don't really help cure they help deal with diseases
I would talk with Adult Intake for welfare in your county. They sometimes can help you move things along faster. Helping you FIND services is not dependent on your income/assets. Getting services are although home and car are not counted.
I've been medically disabled for over 20 years. I found a job in the public transportation field. You just have to find something you can do. My salvation was driving! If you can drive... you can make a great income!! I make way more working... and the self-esteem you get from being a positive contribution to other peoples lives is priceless! 😊❤
Only returned if it gets paid back. If they are claiming "return" is because people won't be getting those benefits because they were caught, then that is misleading.
It's people like that that ruin it for disabled people. My husband was disabled. It started out as crohns disease and progressed into numerous ailments. Disability denied him year after year and we lost everything, house, furniture, kids toys, you name it. When he went to his last disability hearing the judge asked him why he was so tan. My husband stated that because he could no longer drive that our doctor told him to get out to sit on the porch and get some sun for the benefits. People were watching him because they said he " looked " too healthy. He finally got his disability but it was too late. He had renal failure, adrenal gland failure, spinal deterioration, crohns disease, etc. By the time it was all said and done, my husband was in a hospital bed in the livingroom unable to wipe his own butt or shower without my assistance. Sadly he died april 18, 2013 just 3 days before his 37th birthday. Everyone thought that because he was such a big guy that he was faking it. My children are now without a father. The youngest were 5 and 7 at the time.
Thank you sweetie. Reading about this just brought back everything we went through. losing everything and denied over and over. No income, premature baby needing constant care ( 2lb 8 oz at birth) and a husband that couldn't take care of himself let alone a preemie.
suzanne Baker I want you to know I have hundreds of white men and women.....yes always white....never any other race.....apply for jobs with my construction company in Arkansas....a red state....every year and ask if I can pay them cash under the table so they don't loose their disability. If they disabled should they be doing construction? These are all trump supporters btw.
@suzanne Baker I disagree, of course there are going to be thieves looking to get over. But when the system requires you to hire and attorney to get YOUR MONEY, yes YOUR MONEY. You pay into SS your entire working life. And you have to fight tooth and nail to get the money you paid in? The SS system is a bad joke. Also the punishment for those to scam the system is far too lenient.
Wow, i barely wrote a comment on anything but your story is completely sad and messed up at the same time. It really made my blood boiled . Sorry for your lost. Your wonderful husband is at a happier place now. God blesses you and your family.
I remember I had a college professor who was legally blind. One time I was walking to the campus gym and I ran into him and he told me he was gonna get something from his car. He was parked in the disability area. I later asked him if he drove and he said he could not drive because he was blind. And I guess he sensed my confusion and he said, "My wife comes to school with me sometimes and she drives". And I was like oh!!!
Many private investigators such as myself work for large investigative firms who largely specialize in workman's compensation fraud. Generally an accident happens in the workplace, someone "pads" the claim (meaning they overexaggerate their restrictions/disabilities so they can get disability pay), and once red flags are drawn on their profile (such as not responding in a timely manner, changes in story, social media activity showing blatant disregard for their restriction. etc.), the insurance companies request surveillance. It's a very rewarding job when you have a successful case. I've had probably 20 successful cases in the past 2 years, and you'd be surprised how dumb a lot of these criminals are lol. If you claim you have a lifting restriction of 5 pounds and need to wear a brace on your right wrist, you better be wearing it in public and living within that restriction, but many are careless and oblivious to the fact they're being surveilled
Exactly! From what I hear, that disability for some isn't all that....not sure how much he was getting, maybe he was getting more than average and that triggered an investigation 🤔
I wish they would make videos and investigate how many times the insurance companies defraud people who have coverage and they deny claims automatically in hopes they won't bother fighting it. I also see insurance companies cutting coverage when therapists and clinical staff state they are not ready to leave treatment...but they have a doctor spend 10 minutes looking over case and saying no....with many of these people leaving treatment to relapse or die from suicide, happens more than people know.
this goes on a lot in england, people on disability and living a good life with holidays abroad, nice cars etc etc. i had osteoarthritis in my left hip and suffered every day. i evan worked a ten hour shift as a cook in a carehome every saturday and sunday, struggling to walk and evan in more pain at the end of my shift. i applied for pip and was told that i need to come for a face to face interview, i decided to pull out and cancel my claim for pip as i was told by a couple of people that evan tho i'm struggling to walk, those pen pushers behind their desks would say but you can walk. so i wasn't willing to give them the satisfaction of turning me down for my request for help and the pip payment, i finally got my hip replacement as it was canceled twice due to covid and i'm so much better and able to walk with no pain and discomfort. there are so many people on disability milking the system and it's those corrupt disability cheats that spoil it for the genuine people. so glad these people in this video have been caught out and having to pay it all back, and rightly so as it's hard workers tax money....
oh...definitely. You cant get disability without your doctors records. The doctor should lose their license....definitely. This wouldnt be a problem if doctors feared prison. Doctors thesevdays are so dirty...and PURCHASED..bought off to prescribe drugs. I never had problems...until the doctors gave me meds thatvI cant ever get off...and my neighbor...he now has heart problems from Viox. I want to make free dentures for people who cant afford these doctors prices...but am afraid they will sue me.
Doctors cannot know more than what they are told in many cases. Doctor and others thought I was faking that I could not use my thumb until the 6th scan where the tech scanned higher on my arm and found that my tendons were balled up in my elbow, Can't move if the wiring isn't connected.
I left my job in Nov. 2019 due to diabetes damaging the retina in my good eye. My other eye was legally blind since I was a kid. I filed for disability in August of 2020. They took until Oct. 2021 to approve me. Did I get a huge retroactive check for the months between filing and approval? HELL NO! They said I wasn't disabled until July 2021 and that I had to remain disabled for 5 months after they determined I was disabled, before I get my first check. And even then, it's an additional month for that first check to arrive so I didn't start collecting until April 2022. I bet the people in this video got approved in an instant.
Right then and there they should’ve realized that he was faking it. I can’t believe they actually believed that nonsense. That’s the kind of stigma I’m talking about… not only did he come up with that they actually believed that that’s what a blind person is only capable of. Disgusting.
@@nosightgaming722 tell me about it. It's that kind of ignorance that makes it so hard to just exist. You look for work and people thinking that BS don't give you any or a promotion when you deserve it, you look for aid and the governments want you to be terribly poor to get any services, and everyone thinking they're helping you but aren't because they're already starting at the worst opinion about your situation.

Meanwhile they put military vets through hell to the help they need. Getting my dad approved through the VA took almost 2 years of paperwork, interviews, and medical reviews before he could even have his first appointment.
My husband had to go through alot to. He resisted for awhile to apply for disability. He had cataracts and also lost hearing due to loading bombs on planes in Vietnam. He finally got the services he badly needed. He ended up having several surgeries and the one time we got him to the hospital he had been bleeding internally and they told me if he didnt get there when he did he would've died. Its hard for those who have served their country with honor while you have folks who have no qualms about taking things.
Social security fraud is a massive problem in the UK too. I personally know several people who are scamming the system. I'd just love to be an investigator.
Fucking numbskull. Corporations can only steal if the government gives them tax money. Corporations have to provide a great product or service at the best price to survive. The CEO can only make 50 million dollars if he provided 50 million dollars worth of something to customers that willingly bought it. The agency that uses force and threats to steal from people is the government, only to use that money to bribe voters through ever increasing social programs that will drive the nation into the ground.
How can a person live the "high life" on these payments? In Ontario, people receive $1260 a month to live the "high life". Are these payments so fantastic? I'd really like to know how much a single, person with a disability receives per month & is it different in each state? Thanks
Kittycat, she's IN the vacation photos with him & their kids. She knew about it the whole time. She simply got mad because he wasn't sharing the stolen money with her. She's as guilty as he is. No doubt she got some kind of plea bargain where she does no time and pays no fine for ratting him out.

@@OneWeirdDudeIt's possible to be blind and still have pupils react to changing light conditions... Blindness is not just seeing black/nothing, in many cases they can see their environment's brightness, but the picture is too blurry to make out things while the pupils dilate and constrict to light just fine. There are many situations where the doctor cannot determine if the patient can see or not, and has to rely solely on his patient's word. I think it's just the patient here that's lying ;)

People like this make me so mad. There are people with REAL disabilities that are still unable to get disability because they cannot afford an attorney to help them to obtain said benefits. There should be a better system set up to get these benefits to the ones that really do need them. There are problems within the system that handles these claims. They also need to be investigated.
The Darci 13 just as an FYI there are disability attorneys who will take cases for no money down. They only get paid if the client collects. Then they get a portion of the back pay which is given in a lump sum. I recommend them to my patients all the time.
ARTOFMUSIC lol funny thing when that idiot is trying to get rid of health benefits but yet he rather keep food stamps for people who don't need it and abuse the system but hey what's more important then peoples health right?
Get rid of health benefits, you mean Obama Care HA HA HA what a joke! It's no wonder this country is going down the tubes with this kind of mentality. Before Omaha Care I could go to the ER and it would be mostly covered. Now it cost me $2500 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET just to walk in because the deductible is $5000. On of that our monthly premiums have increased 200% since Obama care. So now when we have a medical condition we resist going to ER if at all possible because its either that or eat.
I know of people who are in their 20s, who were in devastating car accidents getting about 3000.00 a month. And then I heard of dying people on chemo getting 900.00 after government takes their share for hospital bills. So sad how greedy people can be. I hope they catch all of the lying bad guys.

Took my partner 10 years to get disability because of a major heart attack (which part of his heart is still not functioning but they say they can only fix it if he has another heart attack and have told him he would not live through it} He is on a hot list to the heart surgery unit. They kept denying him year after year. Told him he could get a job raking leaves.... what B.S.
has he been made to pay back the money,on principal as a deterrent to others.these people should have their backs broken so there is a fear that uncle sam will come for the money REGARDLESS,jail time for perjury as well.
This is sickening! People like my brother who actually NEED disability benefits have to wait the 2+ year wait term to get on disability. I will keep these people in my prayers
I'm with you there. But we don't need financial help for being blind in one eye. I've been blind in my right eye since the optic nerve was blown off my retina during a car accident in 1973. It alters some lifestyle desires, but for the most part, doesn't hinder my ability for an income. The guy should not have gotten any SSDI compensation for loss of eyesight in one eye.
I had to fight hard for my disability. I had 6 diagnoses and 6 doctors, and it took 2 years. Since I was approved, my health has gotten much worse, but if the SSA started watching me secretly they'd see exactly what I can't do. I'm upset with those that bilk the system.
these people make it hard for people who actually need it! My wife has been fighting for her social security benefits for 10 years, she is legitimately disabled and is having spinal surgery after thanksgiving 2016. This pisses me off these assholes do this!!!
Robert McDonald sorry to hear that man. It really is a shame and I would be absolutely outraged if I were in you and your wife’s situation. Best of luck bud.

Back in 1979, I fastened two white canes on the front of my car. One on each side. Then I put on some very dark glasses and drove very slowly down Jasper Ave. in Edmonton, Alberta. The stunned looks I got from people were priceless.
Roy Riederer My wife told me about a blind guy walking down the sidewalk with his white cane.

I was helping a customer find something today and his wife was clearly blind, with a stick and dark glasses. After I showed him the item i said "It's right down here, it's kind of hard to see" and then I realized what I just said and they were silent. lol. oops.
Wasnt taxpayers money , it came out of social security, we the workers have paid in . I've been disabled from 2004 , had to quit working in 2010 because I couldn't work anymore.

@mxtthzw but to be completely honest are days I wish I didn't have my disability I would love to have a normal functioning working body instead of some of the stuff I have to deal with.
I love how this guy talks about his life changing he is an example of why it is so hard for the real disabled people who depend of social security to help with the medical bills and paying utilities to keep the lights on.
What’s so amazing is here we are witnessing a miracle where a blind man can suddenly see and we are so wrapped up in lawsuits we miss this once in a lifetime event.....unbelievable!
@@jabmd2nd Believe it or not, some guy in the comments about a year ago was trying to tell people he was blind. Someone called him out on it and asked how he typed so well?

He had about 50 uploads of video games he bragged about winning. I told him "damn thats pretty good text to voice to win at video games". Thats the last we heard from the blind guy.

So true i work and have to stop some time because i stay in pain all the time
This shit makes me mad and upset cause i am a mother to a blind 11 year old boy. Im glad he got caught.
Paula Chavez me too and I know people doing this 😕saludos espero que todo este bien😌💖✌
Prayers to you beautiful
Bless him. Thats so sad. Hope the best for the boy❤💛💚💙💜
Paula Chavez So am I! This shit makes it tougher on those like me who are genuinely disabled!
So if you weren't a mother to a blind child then you wouldn't be mad? Lol
All disability claims should be verified by doctors, physical therapists, and other specialists, not only once but periodically.
Maybe, however it was expensive for me to get my doctors to fill out the paperwork. My Therapist for example charges 50, my psychiatrist charges 40, along with my 10 other doctors it can really add up. But, there definitely should be a better system in place. As someone who is actual disabled this really upsets me when ppl fake it! I know some people who are also very much disabled who have had a really hard time getting it because of jerks like him.
They do exams periodically. If it’s a permanent disability probably not as often.
@@tinawindham6958 I'm permanently disabled & have never had an exam in the 10 years I've been on it. However, as I mentioned it's expensive to get those exams for the patients & I'm sure for the government. It's also very stressful. It actually isn't as easy as people think to get on disability. I personally have so many doctors & health issues that it was sufficiently proven I was disabled but I know others who only have 1 or 2 disabilities/ disabling issues that have had a very hard time applying & getting approved & they may even need a lawyer to appeal multiple times. And I'm talking about truly disabled people. I think because of the frauds like these it has made it such a hard process for them, the truly disabled. So upsetting!
They're supposed to be, but even then some cases get thrown out.
True,but some doctors are in on it .
I know of a guy who was disabled and was on disability. He was charged with disability fraud and the state brought pictures and video of the guy working in his yard, shopping and other activities where he appeared to have no trouble getting around.
It looked like an open and shut case, until the guy came to court with the help of his identical twin brother.
It was his brother in all the pictures. His bother doing his yard work and his shopping for him because he couldn't do it.
The judge was pissed, saying that it was known the man had a twin brother, but they just assumed it was him.
That’s hilarious 😂😂😂
Ever quick to punish and slow to reason.
😂. Lawsuits Ahead !!!!! 😅.
how did he get anything without having a eye doctor report
I was wondering the same thing. Don't people need a doctor's recommendation to be on disability to actually get it. And even if a doctor gives the consent, the system usually will still fight it, which is why there are so many people that need to be on disability and can't. It's strange how they can get on disability just saying that they can't see.
@@vickieclark5931 he was blind in one eye
He initially did have eye problems but when he got better he was suppose to contact disability and end his payments which he did not.
Doctors lie. There are groups of doctors that will give out disabling diagnoses....
@Cesar M No he has lazy A$$
I was born with several disabilities that keep me from standing or walking very long without immense pain and I keep getting denied for disability. This is disgusting.
I kind of wanna ask WHY they are denying you... but I live in Sweden, have severe mental illness and other neurological problems and they denied me (the second time). They deny cancer patients too. It's very disturbing.
@@---mb6vw I think it is because I am 30 years old and when I am able to work I make too much. Plus I have documented mental illnesses dating back to when I was 15. I have all the documentation and have sent it in again. Hopefully this time I get it, but even if I do the most I can receive is 880 a month. That's less than minimum wage. If I didn't have great family members that help I would still be homeless. I really just want the insurance so hopefully I can find a decent doctor so I can get help with the pain. Thank you for caring enough about my plight to at least comment.
Life is a terminal disease
@@thedevilsadvocate5210 but not everyone gets there the same way. People's bodies and minds break down differently.
Just keep appealing and appealing again and again. They always deny right from the start and it can take years before they finally take your case seriously, I had to go through this and my brother used to work for a disability determination office that dealt with military members, when he looked into cases that were sincere he wanted to approve them but he got in trouble because they wanted him to deny them because they had a quota to meet. They will deny people that have had their arms and legs blown off, its ridiculous. Be persistent and consider writing a letter to the head office (in Virginia I believe) on why they should approve you, don't bother with a lawyer, they just get a huge chunk of your money and you can already do what they can (gather records and so on), they will also drag your case out as long as they can so they collect a bigger percentage of your back pay once you're approved.
One yr. In jail?
They should get 1 yr for every year they took disability!

Twenty years ago I worked with a man, whose friend had a degenerative eye disease, that really did make him blind. To a certain extent that is. Because he passed his driver's test, & was considered legally blind. He was supposedly the only man in Kansas that could claim both, & they were proud of it. They said legally blind wasn't totally blind, & it could mean a lot of things.
A year in jail? Give him 10 years and nobody's going to do this kind of SH*T.
No. Having him sit in prison benefits no one. He'd still be living on the tax payer dime. Make him work hard labor for restitution until it's fully repaid. NO RETIREMENT.

I went Blind for 7 years.
I had to go through blind school in Seattle.
As a blind person, you know the layout of your house, how many steps from where you are to where you’re going.
Your “Stick” (Blind cane) gives you a LOT of feedback on the types of terrain, stairs, what’s around you.
Other than writing checks or reading your bills, you can function very independently.
Computer’s have programs in which it can read to you. Other computer programs allow you to speak to your computer and it’ll type whatever you want.
This idiot who claimed to be blind deserves prison with a mandatory blindfold until he’s released.
This! His disability application excerpts pissed me off! I've been blind since age six and just listening to the reporter read that out was infuriating! He is right that you "listen to" television. But there are descriptive shows now. Therefore, to be more correct in language terms you are "watching" the show. It's just a small thing, but dammit it means so much!
He doesn’t lose his house? But people that can’t pay taxes lose a house?
Can't pay taxes? I do hope you are referring to property taxes. In which case I might agree, but only if you bought a house that you could actually afford in the beginning.
As for income taxes... Well, you have control over your own affairs. If you don't want to pay the IRS then I have no pity.
As far as this guy... Well if he has a judgement against him to pay back what he stole he could still lose his house if he doesn't pay any of that amount back.
Snitch ass bitch
Yeah
@ Totally agree
Going on 5 years for me, but I've been more focused on my kids, my disabled child, and my POS ex.
His EX wife needs jail time too. She knew about the fraud and spent that money knowingly.
Massive waste of tax money to go after her.
They'd have to prove she knew where the money came from at the very least.
ABSOLUTELY!
We need equality
Most likely, the reason why they DIDN'T go after her because they cut her a deal to turn him in. The video even stated that she was the one who turned him in AFTER they went after her first.

Only returned if it gets paid back. If they are claiming "return" is because people won't be getting those benefits because they were caught, then that is misleading.

It's people like that that ruin it for disabled people. My husband was disabled. It started out as crohns disease and progressed into numerous ailments. Disability denied him year after year and we lost everything, house, furniture, kids toys, you name it. When he went to his last disability hearing the judge asked him why he was so tan. My husband stated that because he could no longer drive that our doctor told him to get out to sit on the porch and get some sun for the benefits. People were watching him because they said he " looked " too healthy. He finally got his disability but it was too late. He had renal failure, adrenal gland failure, spinal deterioration, crohns disease, etc. By the time it was all said and done, my husband was in a hospital bed in the livingroom unable to wipe his own butt or shower without my assistance. Sadly he died april 18, 2013 just 3 days before his 37th birthday. Everyone thought that because he was such a big guy that he was faking it. My children are now without a father. The youngest were 5 and 7 at the time.
I'm so sorry. Such a terrible end.
Thank you sweetie. Reading about this just brought back everything we went through. losing everything and denied over and over. No income, premature baby needing constant care ( 2lb 8 oz at birth) and a husband that couldn't take care of himself let alone a preemie.
suzanne Baker I want you to know I have hundreds of white men and women.....yes always white....never any other race.....apply for jobs with my construction company in Arkansas....a red state....every year and ask if I can pay them cash under the table so they don't loose their disability. If they disabled should they be doing construction? These are all trump supporters btw.
@suzanne Baker
I disagree, of course there are going to be thieves looking to get over. But when the system requires you to hire and attorney to get YOUR MONEY, yes YOUR MONEY. You pay into SS your entire working life. And you have to fight tooth and nail to get the money you paid in? The SS system is a bad joke. Also the punishment for those to scam the system is far too lenient.
Wow, i barely wrote a comment on anything but your story is completely sad and messed up at the same time. It really made my blood boiled . Sorry for your lost. Your wonderful husband is at a happier place now. God blesses you and your family.
I remember I had a college professor who was legally blind. One time I was walking to the campus gym and I ran into him and he told me he was gonna get something from his car. He was parked in the disability area. I later asked him if he drove and he said he could not drive because he was blind. And I guess he sensed my confusion and he said, "My wife comes to school with me sometimes and she drives". And I was like oh!!!
I would spend the rest of my life investigating these frauds. It would give me the most rewarding feeling ever!
I would volunteer for free
You could start with the government themselves, that's the biggest fraud on the planet, is government. The sheeple ignore them.
Me too so
Many getting away with it in Uk too
Lol
Many private investigators such as myself work for large investigative firms who largely specialize in workman's compensation fraud. Generally an accident happens in the workplace, someone "pads" the claim (meaning they overexaggerate their restrictions/disabilities so they can get disability pay), and once red flags are drawn on their profile (such as not responding in a timely manner, changes in story, social media activity showing blatant disregard for their restriction. etc.), the insurance companies request surveillance. It's a very rewarding job when you have a successful case. I've had probably 20 successful cases in the past 2 years, and you'd be surprised how dumb a lot of these criminals are lol. If you claim you have a lifting restriction of 5 pounds and need to wear a brace on your right wrist, you better be wearing it in public and living within that restriction, but many are careless and oblivious to the fact they're being surveilled
I don't know, but it seems like it would be easier just to get a damn job.
But they probably get more from those benefits.
But that requires actually working
Scamming is their Job
Lol right
Exactly! From what I hear, that disability for some isn't all that....not sure how much he was getting, maybe he was getting more than average and that triggered an investigation 🤔
I wish they would make videos and investigate how many times the insurance companies defraud people who have coverage and they deny claims automatically in hopes they won't bother fighting it. I also see insurance companies cutting coverage when therapists and clinical staff state they are not ready to leave treatment...but they have a doctor spend 10 minutes looking over case and saying no....with many of these people leaving treatment to relapse or die from suicide, happens more than people know.
Ditto!
Angela Smith With all due respect, "dying from suicide" is pretty much the point of suicides.

this goes on a lot in england, people on disability and living a good life with holidays abroad, nice cars etc etc. i had osteoarthritis in my left hip and suffered every day. i evan worked a ten hour shift as a cook in a carehome every saturday and sunday, struggling to walk and evan in more pain at the end of my shift. i applied for pip and was told that i need to come for a face to face interview, i decided to pull out and cancel my claim for pip as i was told by a couple of people that evan tho i'm struggling to walk, those pen pushers behind their desks would say but you can walk. so i wasn't willing to give them the satisfaction of turning me down for my request for help and the pip payment, i finally got my hip replacement as it was canceled twice due to covid and i'm so much better and able to walk with no pain and discomfort. there are so many people on disability milking the system and it's those corrupt disability cheats that spoil it for the genuine people. so glad these people in this video have been caught out and having to pay it all back, and rightly so as it's hard workers tax money....

Aren't most of these claims backed up with doctor reports? Are any doctors being prosecuted as an accomplice?
They should be.
oh...definitely. You cant get disability without your doctors records. The doctor should lose their license....definitely. This wouldnt be a problem if doctors feared prison.

I left my job in Nov. 2019 due to diabetes damaging the retina in my good eye. My other eye was legally blind since I was a kid. I filed for disability in August of 2020. They took until Oct. 2021 to approve me. Did I get a huge retroactive check for the months between filing and approval? HELL NO! They said I wasn't disabled until July 2021 and that I had to remain disabled for 5 months after they determined I was disabled, before I get my first check. And even then, it's an additional month for that first check to arrive so I didn't start collecting until April 2022. I bet the people in this video got approved in an instant.
"I sit in the dark and listen to TV!" "I can't move around my house I keep bumping into things!" ... Said no blind person ever.

Meanwhile they put military vets through hell to the help they need. Getting my dad approved through the VA took almost 2 years of paperwork, interviews, and medical reviews before he could even have his first appointment.
I truly feel for your dad, and you having to watch that happen. It's awful, inexcusable... The system is so broken. :(
It took the VA a decade to classify my father as disabled and give him his back pay
My husband had to go through alot to. He resisted for awhile to apply for disability. He had cataracts and also lost hearing due to loading bombs on planes in Vietnam. He finally got the services he badly needed. He ended up having several surgeries and the one time we got him to the hospital he had been bleeding internally and they told me if he didnt get there when he did he would've died. Its hard for those who have served their country with honor while you have folks who have no qualms about taking things.

Fucking numbskull. Corporations can only steal if the government gives them tax money. Corporations have to provide a great product or service at the best price to survive. The CEO can only make 50 million dollars if he provided 50 million dollars worth of something to customers that willingly bought it.

@@OneWeirdDudeIt's possible to be blind and still have pupils react to changing light conditions... Blindness is not just seeing black/nothing, in many cases they can see their environment's brightness, but the picture is too blurry to make out things while the pupils dilate and constrict to light just fine. There are many situations where the doctor cannot determine if the patient can see or not, and has to rely solely on his patient's word. I think it's just the patient here that's lying ;)
How do you expect a doctor to know whether you can see or not?
glad when they caught... my husband lived less than a year after he started receiving his disability... so unfair to the rest of us...

People like this make me so mad. There are people with REAL disabilities that are still unable to get disability because they cannot afford an attorney to help them to obtain said benefits. There should be a better system set up to get these benefits to the ones that really do need them. There are problems within the system that handles these claims. They also need to be investigated.
The Darci 13 just as an FYI there are disability attorneys who will take cases for no money down. They only get paid if the client collects. Then they get a portion of the back pay which is given in a lump sum. I recommend them to my patients all the time.

On of that our monthly premiums have increased 200% since Obama care. So now when we have a medical condition we resist going to ER if at all possible because its either that or eat.
"IF he hadn't been caught do you think he'd still be collecting?"
Duh. Of course he would.
How does someone live the "high life" off disability payments? They don't pay much.
Jeremy Wheeler You got that right.
I know of people who are in their 20s, who were in devastating car accidents getting about 3000.00 a month. And then I heard of dying people on chemo getting 900.00 after government takes their share for hospital bills. So sad how greedy people can be. I hope they catch all of the lying bad guys.
@@elizabethbeauchamp6580 that sounds like insurance payments rather than disability payments.
He got 1.3 million thats enough for the high life.
@@skylarjaxx2399 over the course of many years. I bet you've paid that much for living expenses over your lifetime.
You could say that this guy had a “blind spot” in his plans.
I’ll show myself out now.
When my dad had cancer we asked for help n got denied ,they asked us if he had little kid's yeah at 52 with cancer, sadly he did pass away in 2006 n here is this guy living his best life...there's a special place for people like this...
My dad had stage 3 colorectal cancer and dementia and was still denied. It's terrible.
🇨🇦. When Are We going too wake Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's fools like this that makes it so damned hard for everybody else that tries to get on disability that really truly deserves it.
The punishments were absurdly mild. They should have received at least 20 years plus confiscation of all their assets to recover the funds.
Hear hear!
That makes 0 sense. So he should be forced to live on the streets for a minor crime?
@@805fillmore Excuse me, but stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't what I would call "minor"!
@@bobjacobson858 yes it is
@@bobjacobson858 he lost his eye at work. Of course he should get disability. You really are a dumb trump supporter aren't you?
Took my partner 10 years to get disability because of a major heart attack (which part of his heart is still not functioning but they say they can only fix it if he has another heart attack and have told him he would not live through it} He is on a hot list to the heart surgery unit. They kept denying him year after year. Told him he could get a job raking leaves.... what B.S.
Politicians do the same thing, they don’t even hide, we pay for luxury cars, vacations, security for them and their families etc
They will not have those luxury's in HELL.
Exactly, why are we only targeting citizens who abuse the system? I'm suspicious of anyone who wants to be in politics.
The ex wife clearly knew and was involved.
Strange I don't see anymore money in my paycheck
Your reward is that you are healthy enough not to be eligible.
has he been made to pay back the money,on principal as a deterrent to others.these people should have their backs broken so there is a fear that uncle sam will come for the money REGARDLESS,jail time for perjury as well.
He didn't say he was blind, said he couldn't see his blind spots
This is sickening! People like my brother who actually NEED disability benefits have to wait the 2+ year wait term to get on disability. I will keep these people in my prayers
I’ve been blind in one eye my whole life. In 48 years I’ve never received a dime of disability
I'm with you there. But we don't need financial help for being blind in one eye. I've been blind in my right eye since the optic nerve was blown off my retina during a car accident in 1973. It alters some lifestyle desires, but for the most part, doesn't hinder my ability for an income.
The guy should not have gotten any SSDI compensation for loss of eyesight in one eye.
How's the general Lee running cooter lol
I had to fight hard for my disability. I had 6 diagnoses and 6 doctors, and it took 2 years. Since I was approved, my health has gotten much worse, but if the SSA started watching me secretly they'd see exactly what I can't do. I'm upset with those that bilk the system.
Most of the country is piggybacking off of us who pay the most taxes
The casinos are full of these leaches on check day.
😂😂😂
EVEN WAL MART
I challenge you to provide proof to your ridicules claim.
john fearnley Say it louder for the people in the back of the room☑️
😂🤣
these people make it hard for people who actually need it! My wife has been fighting for her social security benefits for 10 years, she is legitimately disabled and is having spinal surgery after thanksgiving 2016. This pisses me off these assholes do this!!!
Robert McDonald sorry to hear that man. It really is a shame and I would be absolutely outraged if I were in you and your wife’s situation. Best of luck bud.
one of my uncle is blind and when he heard this story he thought he could drive again. but sadly. he was in 13 wrecks in 3 months and the only good news is he did not hurt anyone. Enterprises Rent a Car rented him cars he totaled three of them now he is baned for life from Enterprise rent a car.
Tammy Gacek lmao! I shouldn't laugh but your comment is super hilarious I hope is not true!
Consuelo Sandoval LMFAO I was thinking exactly the same!!!!! Don't feel bad 😂
I got banned from Enterprise and their associates from not paying a $220 tow bill.
Tammy Gacek I'm sorry but this is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂 the story have him hope huh lol
Rebel Nitro u shld sue them!
Thats angering. I am legally blind. Not totally blind. It is frustrating not to be able to drive since i work full time… this guy should go to prison!
Police: How are you driving when you're blind?
Moron: God took the wheel.
Smitty D 😂
It's called FAITH🕶🕶
😂😂😂😂😭😭😭👍🏾
LOL. It's a miracle.
It's a miracle!
I'm curious how he got hundreds of thousands in disability? I didn't know the government paid so well? unless this went on for dozens of years?
jackie scorpio He was receiving payments for his whole family.
Why? I’m disabled and get no penny. Why he got hundert thousands ?
@@stefanigreeneyes me too
This is truly a widespread issue--my old security company used to do fraud surveillance for insurance companies and,you wouldn't believe what we saw and captured on camera--we caught a lot of people who were scamming the system.
Good job
Tell us more please
I feel bad for the people who really need it.
Those ex-wives will get you at the end all the time!😆
Back in 1979, I fastened two white canes on the front of my car. One on each side. Then I put on some very dark glasses and drove very slowly down Jasper Ave. in Edmonton, Alberta. The stunned looks I got from people were priceless.
Roy Riederer
My wife told me about a blind guy walking down the sidewalk with his white cane. She looked back after she passed him, being curious how he would negotiate the crossing and wondering if she should help. He approached a car parked by the side and got in the car behind the wheel and drove of. She was like WTF JUST HAPPENED.
Roy Riedere
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!
I was helping a customer find something today and his wife was clearly blind, with a stick and dark glasses. After I showed him the item i said "It's right down here, it's kind of hard to see" and then I realized what I just said and they were silent. lol. oops.
Did the wife get arrested aswell because she is part of it
It was most likely a plea deal. "Turn on your Husband or we will turn you into Prison!"
💯 true glad they’re doing something about it
A return to you and me the tax payers! I never saw that check.
@@jaysonsar4507 yep
After it was all over, the lawyers got all the returned money. But you probably knew that already.
Wasnt taxpayers money , it came out of social security, we the workers have paid in . I've been disabled from 2004 , had to quit working in 2010 because I couldn't work anymore.
A blind man shouldn't be driving. That's dangerous!
He’s not blind!!! He can see perfectly!!! He just claims to be blind!!!
Guess people don't understand sarcasm
Almost as dangerous as Asian females- because they can see well enough to aim at you ! 😋😎 Just kidding..
He should at least be required to have his guide dog along in the passenger seat
as a nurse I am appalled when these fraudsters come in to be treated and they are healthier than most of us.
This is sad!! My husband has very bad back pain and sometimes can’t even walk or sit because he is in pain! constantly trying to get comfortable yet he still goes to work everyday hasn’t called in , in over 5 years!! My man is sooo amazing!! I admire him he is such a hard working man!! ❤️❤️❤️
Try a TENS machine for the back pain.
It's people like this guy that made me have to apply four times for SSI.
I know right
Ugh. I'm so sorry. :( That really is not okay. The system is so broken.
How so?
@mxtthzw i did
@mxtthzw but to be completely honest are days I wish I didn't have my disability I would love to have a normal functioning working body instead of some of the stuff I have to deal with.
I love how this guy talks about his life changing he is an example of why it is so hard for the real disabled people who depend of social security to help with the medical bills and paying utilities to keep the lights on.
How the heck do these people get approval without concrete evidence of their dissabilities!!?? thats a poor system.
Why aren't there thousands of these videos on youtube, all these scumbags need to be exposed.
What’s so amazing is here we are witnessing a miracle where a blind man can suddenly see and we are so wrapped up in lawsuits we miss this once in a lifetime event.....unbelievable!
"Seriously, I'm blind!! I can't see going to prison for 5 years!!😵
LOL 😂
O yeah! Yet you can see what you are typing on the comment.! Lol!
@@jabmd2nd
You're right.
But...oh my god..
Now I cant hear anything.
@@jabmd2nd
Believe it or not, some guy in the comments about a year ago was trying to tell people he was blind. Someone called him out on it and asked how he typed so well? Obviously using voice to text. Ok, how about reading it? Now he started spreading it thick."I have a text to voice that reads it to me" he said. I looked up his profile and uploads. He had about 50 uploads of video games he bragged about winning.
I told him "damn thats pretty good text to voice to win at video games".
Thats the last we heard from the blind guy.
If you're gonna BS people, atleast pull off incriminating uploads, right? Lol
I think 70% claims are BOGUS. And how does SS admin go up against a doctor who wrote the notes?
He's the real life Mr.Magoo from the old luny toon cartoons...🤣😅😂
When we talk about billions of dollars that companies are stealing from the taxpayers
Lisa Mc Andrews:) those companies have "licenses" to "stealing" taxpayers money-, why?-, IRS allows it
You should do a story on the fraud and abuse WITHIN the Social Security Administration.
IT ALWAYS COMES FROM THE OUTSIDE. PEOPLE LIKE HIM SCAMMING THE SYSTEM. HOW CAN IT COME FROM WITHIN. THEY GIVE MONEY. THEY DONT TAKE
my first ex-wife had filed a claim on our youngest daughter (after we were divorced), and she got approved!
My second ex-wife is filing for disability on her boy (not my boy) for having asbergers (spelling error?), and is wanting me to make a statement to make a case for her. But, I absolutely refused to do it. Now she is threatening my visitation rights on our daughter. I'll have my day in court.
aspergers is known as autistic psychosis
This is the reason why vets get the run arounds
