It used to be that anyone claiming any disability could be approved and get disability benefits for just about any disability they could think of.

Now the Social Security Administration is cracking down on the fraudsters by making it harder and a longer process for people to get approved for SSI disability payments.

To get approved for SSI disability payments today requires you to prove through a doctor and lawyer that you have severe enough condition to where you're unable to work at all.

If you're deemed suitable and able to work a job such as an office desk job where you sit at a desk most of the time then you will be denied disability.

If you're able to work a office job I would do that instead of trying to get disability benefits because disability hardly pays anything and it's rough to pay bills while living with just disability payments.

Maybe even start blogging to earn money while working in your spare time at home or do freelance type work where you never have to leave your home to do the work and you only work when you feel you're able to work.
