>>15003281) I know they prefer people who have not worked before. You probably should be unemployed before attempting this to make it seem like you really cannot work any more. If you have large savings you could live off that for a while.
They don't allow you to get disability if you have over $2000 in savings. This is checked at the beginning of each month, so you could have $3000 mid month as long as you had under $2000 at the start of each month. You can probably hide your savings by investing them in stocks. I had savings invested in stocks for a while and disability never found them.
You can work on disability, but the more you earn the less disability you get. So for instance. If your monthly salary is 0 you'll get $850 a month. This scales up to maybe $1700 a month where you'll still be getting $80 a month in disability.
2) Yes. You should not only be a clean freak with OCD, you should have full blown OCD. The goal is "this guy is FUCKED."
3) Your parents definitely wouldn't approve of you scamming the system. Before going to the mental ward I would just tell them you're going to the hospital for some problem. Then when you get home tell them at the hospital they locked you up in a mental ward for however long because they thought you were crazy. Hospitals legitimately do this. You probably just should tell them you're going to apply for disability once you get out of the mental ward and do it yourself.
4) Disability is an absolutely bitch to get. People try for YEARS unsuccessfully. It took me 2 months and the guy in uncle remus did it in 3 months. It is absolutely necessary. I too was hesitant. I only found the motivation to go after I got in a huge fight with my parents and stormed out of the house.
