The very fact that SO MANY get away with it -- and conversely so many people who legitimately NEED it have to jump through 2-4 years of hoops and spend $'s on lawyers -- is something I lay squarely on the large government supporters of both parties.
How do you fix the system? As someone who basically does these things for a living, I'm all ears. It's a real problem. But all the solutions tend to just make things worse for people who really need it. You are identifying two problems that are linked to one another such that the more you try to prevent fraud the more you hurt people who really are disabled and the more you try to streamline things for the truly disabled the more fraud you allow.
As long as the system remains based on doctors diagnosis I don't see how that can change.
