My guess is we are now seeing the young kids who were receiving disability as children for things like add/adHD as adults now. I am certain that if I am wrong someone will step on and correct me but...from my understanding once they get in the disability system as a child they can stay there their entire life. --68.107.xxx.x

I have seen you get a lot of posts started here, when is the last time you thought about a landlord group in your area? You may find more than one so get to them and compare notes, here we have 2, the lawyers and expensive contractors are involved in one and the other is a wide array of owners and managers who want to solve problems in a few weeks without tossing out -other people money-, you choose one. --76.188.xxx.xx

From experience will avoid them as found many of them have serious illegal drug problems. Here those on any sort of social assistance more likely use illegal drugs along with they bring guests who use illegal drugs as well. Once the rent reaches a certain then one will get people who hav to earn for a living not being handed a cheque at the end of month. Take a look at what is living down the street then see what kind of people they are. Consider going into Google then locate along consider joining a landlords association as many newer rental housing providers often will avoid the problems and drama. It is amazing they can walk four stories then kick in a solid suite door then be on disability. It seems to be different what one considers disability. --147.194.xxx.xxx

I love the way Judge Judy demands to know the "nature of their disability"? Then proceeds to berate them about it and comments about how it doesn't seem to prevent them from procreating and anything else that they want to do! We're not so lucky to be able to get away with that, but I find it interesting that people are so quick to jump into the "easy, softer way" without counting the cost. Such as limiting them to their choices in housing, etc. No, most cannot qualify for decent housing after getting on disability and don't have sense enough to realize that a lot of us are not impressed with their so called guaranteed income! (that we cannot garnish) --71.51.xxx.xxx

I tried posting yesterday but did not show up but yes way more on disability I take them in my low end units they tend to get the check and get me a money order sometimes I get 80 percent of the check but realize they get food stamps and know where free clothes giveaways are and food pantries there heat gets paid for etc it was a whole different way of life than we are used to but if you are lazy it works --66.87.xxx.xxx

I read somewhere that our government gives out more money per year now to SSI than Section 8, foodstamps and Welfare combined. If this is true then why doesn't the media tell us! I have many many stories I could tell as well. Yes if they qualify I certainly will rent to them. --73.61.xx.xxx

These folks could be the product of pregnant women who were on drugs at the same time. I recall reading during the late 80s about children born with a cocaine and heroin habit and how sad and pathetic it was to watch babies withdraw from drugs right after birth. The ages match the time period. --73.33.xxx.xxx

My friend gets disability for her adhd, she has since 6th grade. She is now 33. She’s worked a handful of times for a month or two but it never lasts. She only gets $700 a month disability but is also on FIP and mediacaid and food stamps and free day care for her 2 year old. Now she’s pregnant again (#4) and is excited for her food stamps to go up! Lol. She talks about working someday but we know that won’t happen. Her boyfriend lives with her and works so they cheat the system... she doesn’t claim him / his income or she wouldn’t get all her benefits besides the SSI and SSA. It’s a sad world when people that CAN work choose not to! --173.26.xx.xxx

Honestly, the people that use the EBT cards at the store are dressed better than I am, have their nails done, and are buying food I think is too high priced to splurge on. --96.236.xx.xx

I have never gotten a letter requesting more information in 13 years. If/when I ever do get one, there will be a host of legal reasons I can cite to deny. --173.17.xx.xx

There has been a push by many states over the last several years to get people off of the welfare rolls and onto disability. Apparently welfare is more dependent upon state funds whereas disability is entirely federal. Many states hired private firms to work with these folks and coach them through the process, paying a commission to the company for each person they could get off of the state money and onto federal. --70.178.x.xx

Wow That makes sense. Just follow the money. --73.61.xx.xxx
