All I have to do is become disabled today and Id get $1556 a month
Equal to about $9.50 an hour based on a 40hr work week, likely it would pay more then any job I may find.

Thats only a buck or two above minimum wage; what are your skill sets that thats all you can get?

Probably easier then getting it for a physical disability.
I know someone who was in ICU, 5'10" 75lbs and was shitting blood, they declined him said he was able to work.

Based of what I have been getting for the last 5 months min wage sounds good.

There's proof you could perform "sedentary work"... although some of it may be of dubious quality.

When I was on disability for 3 months for my knee I was getting about $3000/month to sit at home and play SOCOM.

In that case, I'd be right up there with Bill Gates.

Who do I call about my check?

EDIT: Crap. I'm not elligable.

Yeah, go for the insanity thing. Social Security doesnt want to deal with crazy people. If youre able to pass gas, they would generally, without legal counsel, interpret your claim as able to work. Claim denied.

My sister screens the disability applicants in east Tennessee. She tells me some really good stories. I feel certain I wouldn't last a day on her job before I cursed someone out.

this one classmate of mine who got into drugs hardcore, claimed he had schitzophrenia and other stuff, got admitted into a mental help facility a few times for fighting with family over it and viola, gets paid a nice fat disability check every month to buy drugs and booze and sit home on teh computer all day.
