Claim disability....then be a body builder?

[waggy]

it really does not matter about him being able to lift or not (well it does but not really)

he claimed he is " totally and permanently disabled" wich means he CAN DO NO OTHER JOB EVER! not just the work he was doing. he was scamming the system and got caught.

Yep, he could answer phones, file paperwork, do something productive at work instead of being paid to go to the friggin gym.

For those of you still saying you can't bodybuild while disabled, let me introduce you to my friend Pete.

Not that it's relevant to the OP, but it is relevant to some of the comments here.

The abuses that the Boston Fire Dept have conducted is an absolute disgrace.

'102 Boston firefighters had been granted enhanced disability pensions because their career-ending injuries occurred while they were temporarily filling in for superiors and being paid at the higher pay grade.'

Many of those enhanced pensions went to senior commanders, including eight district chiefs who claimed injuries while filling in for deputy chiefs, mostly in desk jobs.

I read this yesterday - I am more worry about the system failure/major scams going on than that just one guy got caught because he competed.
