And this is exactly why I mentioned in another thread that if I became homeless, I would become a criminal before applying for SSI; they don't give a **** about people who are actually making an effort to get better and instead would rather help those that don't put an effort into helping themselves. They ASSUME that somebody who is volunteering or trying to work a part time job can work like everybody else without taking into account that that person is outright struggling to get by or perhaps they need that money to eat while the slow and stupid ogres in the government take their sweet time to get around to your case.

Call me harsh, but I think that those who are disabled but are actually making an effort to do something about their problems should be given support over those who give up and stop trying.
