Man Convicted of Disability Fraud Claims He's Actually Disabled

Then blamed it on some "Magical Black Guy"! Cops love to say "feared for my life", "He reached for my Gun, "I was surrounded (by elementary school kids - had to shot them ...to escape)...I thought they had guns"! seems strange that this Veteran, could fool all the reviews, case studies and medical professionals over the many many times his case has come up. Without shooting any one? ... things that make you wanna' say - huummm, ain't that strange?

And those who does get them often times don’t get enough. Also the few who is able to work a bit while receiving these benefits will often get penalized for making too much. Like if you earn even like $100 over what you’re suppose to, they’ll penalize you by taking away some of your benefit because they thought you don’t need as much. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fred Garvin According to Social Security guidelines, you are correct. Per the VA guidelines, you can have multiple maladies that add up to 100%. For instance, I lost a bunch of my gut and organs as a result of my service 46 years ago. Because of that, I developed kidney stones and kidney/renal problems. From all my surgeries, I got hernias and also had intestinal blockages. Don't even get me started about my back. People look at me and they can't see all my scars or obvious signs of disability. But believe me, I wish it I had never got hurt in the first place. All these physical issues could really mess a guy up mentally as well.

I go to the VA but never applied for disability. Since retiring I have had a civilian job. I have multiple brain lesions as shown on MRI's. When people have MS, they can become more and more disabled. Or the symptoms can come and go. This man may have mild MS but he is certainly not totally disabled.

[@nurse_vest]

I can relate! I push hard to continue working with MS type symptoms. It's a tough life, tough call. Maybe he didn't have the option or accommodations from his job for modified or part-time hours. I can't judge him. It's partly the systems fault too. 20+ years to figure it out?

[@thedevilsadvocate5210]

Do you take mega doses of vitamin D?

[@nurse_vest]

@@thedevilsadvocate5210 no. I recently started wearing compression leggings, compression socks, and now even a long sleeve compression top for work. I've also increased my water intake (adding liquid iv from Costco), increased my dietary sodium and sit more often/take my breaks. I am more aware of my breathing and take control to deep breathe. I've also started prenatal vitamins, vitamin C, and eating less sugar. I've noticed some improvement but still have bad days. I refuse to stop working.

EXACTLY!! Another important point, stress flares MS, so the psychological stress of him having to "work" and the fear (unreal fear) of not being able to or failing at it, if he effs up while playing with his kids, well that's ok. But is he disabled totally? No.

[@ruff5050]

so you're telling me that he was receiving 80k a year for disability? WTF?! What a shame, while actual disabled vets literally die at the VA waiting for help...

[@jennifernorth291]

ruff5050 I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anybody caught that. I thought it seemed unreasonably high myself especially considering they said he was only supposed to be getting 30% of his working pay, and I'm pretty sure homeboy wasn't clearing $250k a year. So yea, love to know how that worked. Probably doctored up that fucking paperwork too. This guy is absolutely fucking disguuuustingggggg

[@boughtbythecross]

that is a shame about the vets. i wonder where he goes to the dr as vets can only use the va. don't understand the amount either as i truly am disabled (quadriplegia) and i get less than 12 grand a year

[@andrewarchunde1]

100% is like 37k a year. They're most likely charging him for medical expenses and any other benefits he recieved; educational, housing, home living, and so on.

[@DestiffilaKickAssMom]

Yeah, but if you get SSDI you’re lucky to get $10 grand a year. Most can’t afford to live. No vet wounded should go without care or he in the street. Men like this make it hard on all who really have issues.

[@DestiffilaKickAssMom]

Clark Kent this is strange because most here are lucky to get $10,000 US dollars and that doesn’t even cover rent if you’re single and it’s why so many disabled end up homeless. Don’t know how he got what he did when no one else can.

My Daddy. My Hero was a Marine in Vietnam! He was a "ground pounder", so he calls it. After being shot and the only survivor of his Platoon he laid against a berm bleeding and dying for 3 days before being medi vaced out. He has lived with severe PTSD and even survived Malaria while serving which has caused some neurological damage. I'm 45 and my dad is 72. When he retired from General Motors after 43 years, I urged him to seek out help from the VA. He had said for those 40 plus years that "others needed it more than him"...he is such an amazing and humble man. I said dad YOU DESERVE IT!!! Today he is at 70% rating and although his health isn't great, he still keeps his humble attitude. This guy is just a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of a shoe!

[@amandanegrete1306]

Nadine Miller you’re father deserves 100%. I really believe all combat Vietnam Vets do, they went through hell on earth only to return to a country where most Vietnam Vets were treated like dirt. Like your father, my Dad is a Vietnam Vet who went on to work for the same company 30 plus years. I can’t imagine holding it down while being tormented by the symptoms of PTSD.

[@amandanegrete1306]

Michael Chapman what are you even talking about? I NEVER name call or get aggressive with strangers on KZbin, but are you fr? She’s talking about her father who served in Vietnam. Ground troops in Vietnam lived through experiences we can’t even imagine. They were in combat, real combat constantly. They engaged in hand to hand combat. In a strange land, constant threat of being captured, google “tiger cage Vietnam”...no point in even trying to explain bc you’re obviously ignorant. This scammer did NOT deploy to combat or even border patrol. He completed Navy training, that’s IT. He didn’t even “serve” this country by covering down on a rear detachment stateside so other troops could go forward to combat. Even if he’d been deployed and diagnosed with MS, hypothetical, the military isn’t responsible for someone being diagnosed with MS. Service connected means you sustained an injury while preforming military duty. Please educate yourself before making such ridiculous statements. This scammer is an insult to every service member who has served to the best of their ability.

[@amandanegrete1306]

special ned why the hell do you have to be mean? If YOU don’t care, cool, but obviously you DO bc you stopped to comment. So you tried to go into the military and they wouldn’t accept you? Ok, got it. However this woman who posted is very proud of her fathers service as she should be. You have no idea what Vietnam Vets went through. Nobody cares? The Traveling Vietnam Wall was in my county last week and THOUSANDS of people who DO care turned out to pay their respects. It doesn’t matter if YOU care, 99.9% of Americans do. I say again, thank you to every man and woman who volunteered to go or honored the draft. Did your father or grandfather dodge the draft? Probably so. Obviously you have a problem, it stems from somewhere...you’re either a guy who couldn’t cut it in the military or family member of a draft dodger. I see you.

[@dannielle5021]

Ms. Nadine, Please thank your father for his service and being the best self he can be in spite of his medical issues. He sounds like a wonderful man who I would love to sit and drink some lemonade with. He also must have raised one hell of a daughter for you to he so proud of him. Thank you for sharing your daddy with the rest of the world and I pray for his healing and the best health he can have.

[@JellyBabie1984]

The thing about MS is yes there are times between attacks that you maybe be symptom free but as you age neurological damage from those attacks remain and impair your abilities especially as you get older. Not only is he seemingly symptom free all the time but he shows no signs of impairment after 20 years and that is just impossible and that's exactly why people don't beleive him. Have a friend with the disease and while she has times where she is better her hands still shake between attacks because of the damage and she hasn't had it nearly as long as him. It is angering and he really should be in jail, but I guess paying it back will have to be good enough.
