not sure if this is exactly what meant so am sorry if not- but in own view working shoudnt automaticaly put someone on a hierarchy for disability help,many of us are born severely or profoundly disabled and never got the chance to do jobs before needing support,over here we have very vocal people as well as trolls on forums who bash people on benefits saying only those who have worked shoud get them,its totaly ignorant because they havent got a clue about disability and how different it can affect people;many of us have never worked because of being born disabled and how the impairments affect us; not because we are lazy scroungers.Might be for some, but I know of people who are 100% disabled, worked every day of their lives until they became disabled that can't get help.
It's true, some people are born with or become disabled before they can become part of the workforce. It is important that people consider that disability is a large catch all term that includes many conditions, some of which are not easily seen visually. For example, some people have siezure disorders - you can't see that unless you witness a siezure. It's important to note that you can't get disability without an evaluation from a doctor, and that SSI tends to be pretty skeptical in general - it actually take a lot of persistance to get SSI/disability in most cases. Sure, there may be some people who are not as mentally or physically disabled as they claim to be, but if you read just on BYC alone how many people with serious medical problems actually can't get approved for it - you would understand that in general it isn't as easy to get as most think.not sure if this is exactly what meant so am sorry if not- but in own view working shoudnt automaticaly put someone on a hierarchy for disability help,many of us are born severely or profoundly disabled and never got the chance to do jobs before needing support,over here we have very vocal people as well as trolls on forums who bash people on benefits saying only those who have worked shoud get them,its totaly ignorant because they havent got a clue about disability and how different it can affect people;many of us have never worked because of being born disabled and how the impairments affect us; not because we are lazy scroungers.
some people;even many non disabled people are so vile and resentful to people on disabled benefits [such as SSI/SSDI],that they hold major bigoted views towards all disabled people and bully some of us to the point of severe mental health problems and suicide.
the people who get disability benefits [in any of our countries] through lying are a tiny minority,it was released over here under the freedom of information act of exact amount of people ripping off all UK benefits and it was like, because we constantly hear from the general public and the media about benefit frauds,the problem is benefit fraud is something to sell news with so it skews reality.
although have personaly never worked; mum and dad as once multiple job workers;now on pension have put more money into this country than probably all the disability benefit bigots in this country, and they dont begrudge people they dont know disability benefits which they may eventualy pay back into the country or may pay the country back in another way.
am guessing it will be because physical disabilities [non complex impairments] are 'barriers' that are a lot more easier to adapt for and get around in places such as jobs,over here people who have had both legs amputated have been refused disability benefit because they were able to use a wheel chair, but the benefits people didnt factor in the issues caused by using the wheel chair which meant they had extra needs because of disability [and thus shoud have qualified].
It is probably because the barely functional disabled have been pushed out of the work place by a flood of able bodied people wanting the same work, and have had no choice but to swallow their pride and apply.I do find it strange that with less people working and the work place being safer that there are more people becoming disabled ? Every time that the economy goes down disability goes up.
It is also strangely odd that developing countries have more disabled people where opportunity is much greater for cures.I do find it strange that with less people working and the work place being safer that there are more people becoming disabled ? Every time that the economy goes down disability goes up.
