It's disability not an investment plan or a lotto pool at work. It doesn't matter if you paid into it. It's social program to help people in need. If you honestly qualify for it then take it and better your life. The people abusing the system are those who purposefully maintain disability rather than working toward employment...



This, really.

If you're not legally qualified, you're not legally qualified. I still disagree with the notion that it would be "wrong" to accept it if she was qualified...



Technically she is qualified if the doctor is correct, the statement of financial support is separate part where it just states he is on the hook. It's for people that get married, immigrate, and then separate and the person then goes on Welfare or some other social program. The idea is that if you are immigrating due to marriage you better make sure you stay together.

People who do that make it SO much freaking harder for those of us who are genuinely together, because people (not to mention immigration!) tend to assume you just got married for a green card. If anything ever happened and Wolfz and i were no longer together i would book it so fast back to England you wouldnt see me for dust. Im not saying that to rag on America, its just not England

Should have seen my "proof", we had even been married for 3 years already and still have to jump through a ton of hoops.

You are not an idiot. No decision could have been more natural or human.

If I am ever in such a situation, I would hope to have your conviction.

Oh yeah, we had that too (just because he's military doesnt mean we're exempt from the process). When we sent in my "proof" packet it looked like bloody War and Peace lol. And we are coming up on our 4th anniversary

We are sixth, and we had already gone through immigration for me to live in Canada.

i didn't read all of this so if its already been said sorry for repeating it...but the simple answer is this: Do whichever lets you sleep easier at night.

money isn't everything and it can't buy you your self respect back if thats what you'll lose by taking something you don't feel your owed or deserve.
