If you can successful get disability on your own you are not disabled enough to need it.

This is basically an argument they use to deny people IRL

The real question is how to we get help to the people who cannot fill that form out on their own - the ones who really need it.

how the hell is THAT what you take away from this post?
How do you choose to blame the people with the disability for getting help instead of the system designed to make the process of getting help as difficult as possible?

Poe's law. You missed the implied \s.

Then they're doing sarcasm wrong.

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago

OP didn't figure it out an their own . A sign they probably need help.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

but under the existing system did they get help? no, they didn't.

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Exactly. There are no easy answers. The large form exists for a reason, the system needs all the information to get you the right help. There is no way someone who needs help can figure out how to fill it out correctly on their own.

I didn't blame them. I said it is impossible for those who need it to get help on their own, and therefore it is not their fault. The system needs to provide some way for someone to help people who need help get it because people who need it will not be able to get it on their own.

OP probably isn't as bad as some I've met who cannot even open an unlocked door with a handicap button on their own. Such people exist though, and somehow the system needs to ensure those people are not lost (including finding them!). Once you have that in place you may as well use the same people who get help to need it.
