Insult and Injury
The disability benefits program run by the Social Security Administration is hurting scores of people it is supposed to be helping. Because of massive delays in Social Security's processing of claims, disabled workers are losing their cars, homes and other possessions. The system also relies on questionable medical exams to make decisions on disability claims.
