Re: Welfare
I believe you can turn people committing fraud in for a reward. I'm almost positive about it as far as disability checks go but welfare I'm not so sure.
If you feel that strongly about it maybe you should snap some pictures and turn them in.
However I know from personal experience that just because you are disabled and unable to hold down a normal job doesn't mean you are bed ridden. My own father is in this situation. He was injured on the job over 15 years ago and was out on temp disability. He got a few operations to fix his problem, and after a few months of healing was able to go back to his job. He was never again 100% but he worked hard at what he did. About 5 years ago he reinjured the same injury but at home this time. Once again he went on temporary disability and went for an operation, however this time the operation didn't help so much. Out of frustration and lack of funding My father refused further operations and went out on permanent disability.
He definitely can still do things around the house and such but as far as holding down a 5 day a week job there is no way. When he does a small job around the house he pretty much has to take a few days just to let pain subside. Sometimes its frustrating for the family because he can't do what he used to but who can as they get older right?
Anyway back to my original point maybe the whole story needs to be know in order to distinguish whether these people are truly disabled or not. I'm sure they had to go through all types of evaluations to get on it in the first place. However some people slip through the cracks so who knows.
