Why Is It So Tough Getting Our Disability Claims Passed?

America has two principal federal disability programs, both managed by the Social Security Administration. They have so much work these days, 3 million new applications this year alone though, that figure is not as impressive as what is expected to be next year – 10% higher still; and they will all join more than 10 million citizens who already suffer disabilities and receive something in the region of $200 billion every year in payments. Consider the case of Jack O’Neill, a fifty-year-old worker at a logistics company in Miami; this hard-worker has been at this job for more than 20 years now, but his hopes of a steady paycheck began to dim when the repetitive motions he has to perform this job moving boxes around, took their toll on his back.
