    too bad the pos at social security make people who are ALREADY going through a nightmare WORSE and worse. devastation to families. stress,making disabilities worse then they already are..etc.. ridiculous. i am disgusted by the government denying everyone who NEEDS to be on disability making them and their families go through hell because of something they did NOT ASK TO GET! do they think WE ENJOY losing our life? losing our ability to make money? it makes me seriously SICK i am going to be living in a homeless shelter..my parents have bloodpressure through the roof because they are so worried about me and my situation and are unable to help So a big F U to social security. they act like they r going to make us RICH or even live COMFORTABLY lol NOT guess they are trying to get us used to what its going to be like once they finally approve us.. AFTER WASTING YEARS with their family and their families health deteriorated the disabled and the family cuz the disabled CAN NOT GET HEALTH INSURANCE ANYWHERE either! thank you for that also..u pos.! i only pray the people who are denying everyone someday gets a dibilitating chronic pain disease and has to go through this SAMe crap..its called KARMA need to get people who actually have a concience and a brain in that office ASAP.
