Two Disabled Dudes

213 - Why is Government so HARD?


Listen Later

As Sean says: Government is HARD - especially when trying to navigate the Social Security Disability system.  That’s why we talk to Spencer Bishins who worked in the Social Security Administration for years and shares his insights with us.  Spencer just scratches the surface with us-  but you can find all the details in his book: Social Security Disability Revealed - Why it’s so hard to access benefits and what you can do about it.

In this Episode:

  • Sean explains how StorQuest made it so easy for him to never do business with them again.
  • You Got This, Mental Health featuring Lara Bloom - There are many challenges living with a disability.  On top of the physical challenges, people with invisible disabilities often have a hard time getting strangers or even doctors to believe them - Lara shares her perspective and how the Ehler's Danlos Society is addressing the issue.
  • Spencer Bishins gives us some insight into why it's so hard to access Social Security Disability Benefits.
  • Thank you notes - Two nice people.
