9. I am on SSDI because of multiple disabilities.

However, you can not tell by looking at me or seeing me just standing there or walking or just having a basic conversation that I have a disability. Since people can not see mine I am considered by some to be milking the system dishonestly. I am unable to work both physically and mentally but I am one of the people who will lose it if they succeed.

SSDI has always been the first Soc-Sec program that they have been wanting destroy. You do not get onto SSDI unless you have worked enough to earn what they call a quarter. I worked 3 quarters before I became disabled enough to not be able to work. So we have people who worked putting into the system that they want to take the money from. Next on the list are retired elderly people who will lose their Soc-Sec.

I am screwed if I lose mine and so will my cats because I will have no choice but to have them put to sleep.
