Is U.S.A. Social Security Disability easier to get now ? - Page 7  

Disabled people in the US live longer an also are more willing to have children, passing on bad genetics.

Yes that person does qualify for SSD. Anyone that payed in that there kid becomes disabled before the age of 18, that kid is eligible for SSD threw what the parent payed in.

I am offended that you would even say that people who are disabled shouldn't have children. I have a disability and have five children. I had three children and then adopted two children. I then found out that I have a genetic disability. It is something that was passed down in the family genes. We didn't know that it was even in my family until I found out that I had it. Since finding out that I have it I have had my children tested because they have a fifty percent chance of getting it. Well two have it now and the third may never get or might get it later. Yes if I had know this when I was younger my choices would have been different. I would have not have had any children and would have adopted all of my children. But that was not in the cards for this family. Oh by the way not only do my children have a chance but all of my 6 siblings and there 20 kids and their 5 grandchildren. ( all have a 50% chance to get it ). I feel that I would have made a different choice if I knew, but I also feel that it is up to each person to make.

I do not get any assistance right now. The doctors all want me to file for Social Security Disability.  I do have to take a  lot of time off of work do to my health. I will say that if I lost my job  I would then have no choice but to collect SSD.
