For a false claim, pain and mental illness is harder to disprove than heart disease and stroke, isn't it?
I wonder if forum member Lars is drawing his disability check?
we hear of stories of parents who have their kids act out fake mental illness, so the family can get a government check- it's not hard to find lawyers who can help coach you into how to get disability- they get you over the hump and jump through the hoops. Some judges are on record as approving over 90% of their applications. BETTER MOVE TO HIS JURISDICTION

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.-Americans seeking Social Security disability benefits will often appeal to one of 1,500 judges who help administer the program, where the odds of winning are slightly better than even. Unless, that is, they come in front of David B. Daugherty.

In the fiscal year that ended in September, the administrative law judge, who sits in the impoverished intersection of West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, decided 1,284 cases and awarded benefits in all but four. For the first six months of fiscal 2011, Mr. Daugherty approved payments in every one of his 729 decisions, according to the Social Security Administration.
The judge has maintained his near-perfect record despite years of complaints from other judges and staff members. They say he awards benefits too generously and takes cases from other judges without their permission.
Staffers in the Huntington office say he hears a disproportionate number of cases filed by one area attorney. Mr. Daugherty has been known to hold hearings for as many as 20 of this lawyer's clients spaced 15 minutes apart---
