I actually don't know much about the disability process other than munchies lose their shit when it's denied and then I laugh. The only one I know who is for sure on disability is Dani and that's because she starved, drank, and puked herself exceptional. She had just enough brains to get through high school and then her body burnt them for fuel.
It's funny that SJ used losing a limb as the example of who they would approve though. There was a guy in my hometown who lost a leg as an adult and still managed to run a successful toy and hobby store for quite a long time. Didn't even bother with a prosthesis. He just got around with a crutch under one arm like a badass. Stocked shelves, rang up customers, the whole nine.
I don't even know what illness she's claiming is so debilitating. Her "POTS" the cardiologist told her she didn't have? Well if it's that then she has her life-saving salt water and her much needed wheelchair and should be able to work just fine. Narcolepsy? She's said herself she has control of her symptoms with her medications. "cluster migraines"? she never even talks about those anymore and was able to be a month late on her emgality injection without having a problem so clearly those are under control. She does have a 'tism diagnosis but clearly high functioning enough to get around and worked just fine in the past.
And she does run a business, just not one that generates any income. If we believe her, then she successfully fund raises, solicits donations, and advertises for her ZebraStrong Care Packages company, packs up to 200 packages a month and ships them/drops them off, and she is actively seeking to expand. In September she's headed to some conference where she had a bunch of business cards printed up to promote her company.
But she can't go ring up sales at a makeup counter for a few hours a week?
ETA: Since I'm still getting DMs about this.
Paige Donovan-Smith is not Party_Wurmple. They don't even live on the same continent and the person who posted it admit she was an idiot who jumped to dumb conclusions without fact checking, and then I made her delete her account in shame.
