You have to get certification and evaluation starting with a doctor's recommendation.
They have to be pretty careful about what they put their signature to.
Just saying a blanket statement involving a group or groups can be inaccurate.

It is not that hard - many doctors will do it.
An ex friend - had polio and on crutches. After many years he was downsized. He claimed it was because of his condition. His doctor wrote glowing reports of how able and capable he was to work. He received notice that he lost his case on Tuesday. On Friday, he went to the SS office and applied for SS disability (and received it fast)., His doctor submitted a report that he was totally incapable to do any type of work. By the way - then and now he runs a gun store - working 1 hours a day.
Then as to my brother-in-law's ex wife. Nothing wrong with her - she could do, did and does anything she wanted. She runs a quilt business, setting up at craft affairs and making and selling quilts, with a couple of women working for her. Every year she would take a 3 week vacation at Hilton Head.
The key is that both of the above operate on the cash basis.
True, maybe 100% of the people are not fraudulent, but a majority are. As to Eastern Kentucky, the Doctors are compliant.
