This doesn’t seem correct to me. We can’t have nice things because of fear of massive fraud. I’ve heard that programs like SSDI have around a 1% fraud rate. I’ve also heard they deny something like 70% of claims on first application and 90% on appeal. That seems like way too much denial for a system that’s doing pretty good fraud-wise.
