Or they do get off it, and spend the rest of their lives trying to get back on.

maybe it's better to not try to get off of it in the first place

The instances I'm speaking of are people who get off off it because they no longer qualify. You'll see this a lot with people who received benefits as a child but don't qualify as an adult.

I work for student loan services and too many borrowers are completely fucked but can't receive ssi or disability.

If what they say is true, anyway.

Yup. I'm one the assholes who goes through the medical records and determines if they qualify. Been doing it for eight years, I hate my job, and I am actively seeking out other opportunities.

On the contrary I'd absolutely recommend trying to get off of it if you can find work that you can do. It's a lot better than getting booted off of it and not knowing what to do next.

I was on it for about 7 years, I think it was. As soon as I was well enough and able, I got off of it and started working. Because it helped me out a lot when I needed it, I didn't want to be one of those people who stay on it when they don't need to just for "free money". I would rather it go help someone else who really does need it.

Do people have a harder time keeping it for mental reasons? Like would a schizophrenic just be thrown in the street?

If they're still having issues it's not usually a problem at the redetermination level. Schizophrenia is a pretty distinct case from something like an anxiety or depressive disorder. The gains someone can be expected to make through the course of treatment is a fair bit less.

I keep getting the feeling that some people are dancing around some pretty specific questions. You can PM me if you want a bit more discretion.
