Social Security Disability FAQs
I know someone who is on Social Security disability and he does not look disabled. Why are they getting benefits?
When it comes to disability, looks can be very deceiving.
There are many people who look quite healthy but who are disabled.
Remember, no one can see your back pain.
And many people who suffer from very severe psychiatric illness are physically healthy and able to do things such as mow their yards.
Besides, most everyone who is disabled has "good" days once in a while where they are able to do things that might make them look like they're not disabled.
Just because someone does not look disabled does not mean that they are not disabled.
