'Gaming disorder' may get classified as a mental health condition — here's what that means

Faking mental disorders is a common approach for those that game disability benefits programs. Certain states are easier to gain benefits in as well, so some relocate. I read a story about someone that got Social Security disability for mental impairment. He had worked as a small delivery truck driver, delivering medical nuclear materials for testing and treatment. He was able to game the tests and convince the adjudicators that he could no longer count or do basic math operations, and claimed it was due to exposure. It caused me to read more about the methods and it seems to be fairly common. Unlike injury or disease there are fewer methods to diagnose, and it is easier to fraud the system. Many are young people in their 20's. This all contributes to a major portion of our budget, and I expect the current administration will be looking at it for fraud and wasteful spending. The saddest part is that many Veterans are unable to get help with legitimate PTSD and TBI, while these other people that never served are covered for life. Gaining benefits because you play too many games is pretty crazy at a basic level.

It could be said, jokingly of course, that a number of us are addicted to RP..

If it's with a combination of drugs and pot then they're just trying to get welfare money so they can stay home feel sorry for themselves do more drugs and play some more video games instead of actually looking for work or even finishing school.
