First Responders Work the System Post 9/11 and Get Caught.

        While first responders provide a vital service, sometimes they start to think of themselves as entitled and a lot of that must have occurred after the tragedy of 9/11.
      A big round up has come down in NYC of police and fire men who were faking mental illness to get on the generous disability system provided their occupation.
Work ? This is More Fun.....Scammer Signals Taxpayers While Enjoying Life
 
      Over one hundred have been charged with scamming the system in a country where getting on disability is a goal many share. I not sure that always those who need help get
it, but there sure are some who help themselves....in this case aided by colleagues who coached the cops and smoke eaters on how to appear disabled and win benefits.
     This goes on all over and often local employers will hire private eyes to tail workers suspected of fudging their injuries. In NY a policeman or fireman on disability gets full pay with raises as long as they are on disability.
