'Blind' Man Caught Driving Committed Disability Fraud

It's crazy how people that DON'T need it get it, but people that actually NEED that help can't

Meanwhile, there's people whom wait a year to get disability and actually suffer day by day.

people like him make it hard for the people who really need it

I know of a guy who was disabled and was on disability. He was charged with disability fraud and the state brought pictures and video of the guy working in his yard, shopping and other activities where he appeared to have no trouble getting around. It looked like an open and shut case, until the guy came to court with the help of his identical twin brother. It was his brother in all the pictures. His bother doing his yard work and his shopping for him because he couldn't do it. The judge was pissed, saying that it was known the man had a twin brother, but they just assumed it was him.

Maybe he is partially blind ... after all, he didn't see this coming!

This pisses me off my husband had 2 strokes with in 14 days apart, that left him paralyze on the right side and it took him 1 and 1/2 years to get on disability.

I love how the reporter was committed to her job after chasing him down on his own property. Going above and BEYOND.

This makes it so hard for ppl who need it to get it.

All disability claims should be verified by doctors, physical therapists, and other specialists, not only once but periodically.

how did he get anything without having a eye doctor report

I went Blind for 7 years. I had to go through blind school in Seattle. As a blind person, you know the layout of your house, how many steps from where you are to where you’re going. Your “Stick” (Blind cane) gives you a LOT of feedback on the types of terrain, stairs, what’s around you. Other than writing checks or reading your bills, you can function very independently. Computer’s have programs in which it can read to you. Other computer programs allow you to speak to your computer and it’ll type whatever you want. This idiot who claimed to be blind deserves prison with a mandatory blindfold until he’s released.

I needed it, spent a year fighting for it, was treated like I'm trying to steal something. I've paid taxes since I was 9

I was born with several disabilities that keep me from standing or walking very long without immense pain and I keep getting denied for disability. This is disgusting.

When your own Lawyer throws you under the bus....you are screwed.

this goes on a lot in england, people on disability and living a good life with holidays abroad, nice cars etc etc. i had osteoarthritis in my left hip and suffered every day. i evan worked a ten hour shift as a cook in a carehome every saturday and sunday, struggling to walk and evan in more pain at the end of my shift. i applied for pip and was told that i need to come for a face to face interview, i decided to pull out and cancel my claim for pip as i was told by a couple of people that evan tho i'm struggling to walk, those pen pushers behind their desks would say but you can walk. so i wasn't willing to give them the satisfaction of turning me down for my request for help and the pip payment, i finally got my hip replacement as it was canceled twice due to covid and i'm so much better and able to walk with no pain and discomfort. there are so many people on disability milking the system and it's those corrupt disability cheats that spoil it for the genuine people. so glad these people in this video have been caught out and having to pay it all back, and rightly so as it's hard workers tax money....

Social security fraud is a massive problem in the UK too. I personally know several people who are scamming the system. I'd just love to be an investigator.

One yr. In jail? They should get 1 yr for every year they took disability!

This shit makes me mad and upset cause i am a mother to a blind 11 year old boy. Im glad he got caught.

Twenty years ago I worked with a man, whose friend had a degenerative eye disease, that really did make him blind. To a certain extent that is. Because he passed his driver's test, & was considered legally blind. He was supposedly the only man in Kansas that could claim both, & they were proud of it. They said legally blind wasn't totally blind, & it could mean a lot of things.

Ok this pisses me off to no end 😤 my sister has been 100% blind in both eyes since she was 8 weeks old. She get barely 800$ a month S.S . to live on . How do these lying scammers get so much money that they can go on a vacation anywhere? Please someone explain this to me .
