that is exactly what is wrong with our country. we don't help our own people. maybe if we started to speak up like you are, things might change for the better.

Of course I don't have all the details at hand that apply to this situation but your friend needs to apply for disability at the Social Security office and when he is refused(and he will be) he needs to appeal immediately. On his appeal sheet, he needs to very specific and write everything in detail on how his injuries have affected his ability to work. He needs also to have his physician write a letter detailing his problems. He should keep a copy of everything he sends in his appeal letter. It will not help him if he loses his temper. Good luck!

i am with you on that all the way. a guy used my social security number and screwed over my credit and the governament puts me through months of hassel to get it off, and they wont fix the rest. its not fair. i understand why people get so mad about why there is so many immigrants, but people also have to understand where they are coming from and the type of enviornment. it sucks, but sometimes we have to sacrifice to help others get back on their feet. Just remember Karma

sounds like welfare as usual. if you have the slightest bit of property and need help they put a lien on you. if you have nothing, open the floodgates!

He has his family to support him, not everybody has that luxury.
