Saw my shrink today and she told me she's been doing some research on my behalf. She has found a possible way for me to apply for and potentially claim disability benefits. She doesnt understand that i really dont want to. My reason is:
This is not a system i have paid into. If i'd lived here up until the point where i had to give up work, and paid taxes until that point, yes i would apply. I havent and therefore dont want to. I have no interest whatsoever in taking money i havent earned.
All she can see, though, is that im refusing financial help. So im wondering, am i being an idiot, or do i actually have a valid point?

You have a valid point from a moral standpoint.....in practice you are being an idiot though.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the streets,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

If you need the help, take it.

That's exactly how i feel. The military covers my medical costs, so i dont need help there. We get by on Wolfz's wages, even being able to put some away in savings every month, so we're not crying for money. It would be *nice* to have some extra coming in, there certainly would be more we could do/ buy etc, but i honestly cannot think of a necessity that we are unable to get, and therefore i just cant justify asking for more money.

You need to take your heirs into consideration. If your disability holds you back from earning as much as you otherwise could, then perhaps you could take the money with the idea of passing it on to your children or nephews, nieces.
