Is there such thing as compensation for people "Mentally Unfit for the Workplace"?
(This was in a realistic fiction novel I was reading, which is why I phrase it this way, as it was in the book)
If there isn't anything that draws immediate reconition, is there any form of government payment to those with possibly violent personality disorders to "keep them out" of the workplace?

Actually yes. Mental illness is accepted as a disability for Social Security benefits. However, the person has to apply for it.
For the jerk above (NavyLife), many of our returning soldiers with Traumatic Brain Injury will be eligible because a whole lot of them may never be able to work again despite not missing a limb.

Yes, it is called "disability". But please, for your sake, before you charm out and ring the alarm on someone for "possibly having a violent personality disorder" have your duckies in line. People love to sue today and I would hate to see you snaggled up in a lawsuit by mistake!!! I don't have one but actually know someone who lost their job by accusing someone else at work of that. Tread with light feet!!!!

Sounds like something the Democrats would dream up. Just another program to let more citizens slide by without actually contributing to society.

If they can be declared "disabled" (unable to work), I suppose they would be eligible for Social Security Disability.
Hell, I knew a guy that received SSD because he was a 'heroin addict.'

How else are we to get an illegal hired to take your place as you collect Social Security?
