[QUOTE="EhlerDave, post: 2313185, member: 2564"] [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]This is why I was sent to the place in Tulsa, to evaluate my abilities, both physical and mental. We were looking for any job I could do, not a job that would make me happy or even in the area I lived. It may have changed by now but at that point SS said $500 per month was "gainful employment". They went into my past, looking for anything that may help with any job I could do to earn a whopping $500 a month. My "skill set" was done, I was trained as a mechanic. So they at least try, or they did then. The folks who can work and want to will find a way, the folks on SSD and that work for cash should spend time in jail. That would slow some of the fakes real fast. I truly miss working, I got to travel, worked from Texas to Canada and I always had a new place with different challenges so that I never got bored. I worked my last 4 years with braces for my back, ankles, knees, elbows and wrists, I also used a large amount of pain meds. That is part of why today I am in such of a mess. Masking the pain to work or play lets you do more damage and just not notice, until it's to late.[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
