I know. Personally, I suspect 90% or so of disability claims are
bogus, but I have no facts to back that up.

All I know is that I worked with broken legs, and I never
took a day of disability in my life.

I can see if you're in a horrible car accident, with brain
damage, etc., or you're paralyzed, but, from my somewhat
naive experience with people, they're (mostly) faking it.

Again, I have no data (well, I *do* have the LIRR data, but we
must assume that almost 100% disability figure is an anomaly).

I *do* watch everyone who parks in the handicap spots though,
and I probably see 2% to 5% of them actually disabled, although
I fully realize they may simply be violating the spirit of the
agreement when other people use the plates who aren't the
officially disabled person.

For someone to suggest I'm on disability defies reason.
