How does somebody fake disability?

[Darth_Kitten]

How does a person who isn't really ill, or have a chronic, long-term condition, etc, STAY on disability or get on it in the first place?

Reason I ask, there is somebody at work whom "everyone" believes is not really ill (I mean, how sick are you if you can miss 5 weeks of work in a row, yet call people at the office asking if they know a good moving company????) :shrug: has a history (many years) of taking fridays, or mondays off, etc, yet the *company* gets her put on disability when she doesn't have any more sick leave/holiday leave to use.......

she has *some* health problems, but not major, not by a long shot........
