Belly Dancing Sinks NYC Woman's Disability Claim

Yeah, I know someone who does zumba, bellydancing, jogging, traveling, painting, singing, writing, etc. She even started her own business, under an assumed name of course! And she gets alimony plus social security disability for a supposed physical disability. She's a fraud, a liar, a cheat and thief. I'm hoping she gets hers someday. She's a piece of crap of the lowest kind. I hate low-lifes like her.

The kind of cheating described in the article is a political issue to the extent that liberals and conservatives have different views on how to address crime and antisocial behavior. Liberals take the view that crime is caused by social issues, i.e. poverty, education, single parents, etc. Conservatives feel criminal behavior is essentially a lack of personal values and irresponsibility. The women in the article reflects that latter, as does most criminals.

The decision of the Judge seems to be based on common sense. It looks reasonable. However, so long as she is his girlfriend and not legally wed wife, she should have not been awarded any alimony. These outdated laws encourage more family problems. People, especially certain category, make friendship and get married for just collecting someone else's hard earned money. Such laws are gender biased. America's outdated laws should be updated.

Slashed in half? What are they thinking about? Seems to me someone like to watch the show too much.

I have seen so many fraudulant workmens comp and social security fraud cases its not funny. I have two neighbors that filed a workmens comp claiming they both were injured from two separate falls at their place of employment. While both husband and wife are collecting workmens comp, they purchased two brand new vehicles and a $35,000 Harley motorcycle. Later that week they crashed the Harley, filed an insurance claim for injuries and damage to the Harley. I was shocked the insurance company covered everything.No investigation was done as to why they were on a Harley while claiming back and spine injuries from previous falls and currently collecting workmens comp and haven't returned to work because of that previous injuries. Where is the justice ??? The couple now, is living very comfortably on two student loans and not even enrolled to take classes. This is a major case of workmens comp fraud, insurance fraud, student loan fraud and a major slap in the face to hard working americans that work and earn an honest living. But noone can do anything, including the state or federal government because there are not enough fraud investigators to investigate. These people and many others are stealing their co-workers, employers, state and federal government blind, and laughing all the way to the bank.

Why was she allowed to get away with this scam, for so long? Somebody, not doing their job?

It's people like this that hurt those who truly need it. There are plenty of people who are on welfare and disability and truly need and deserve it, then there are those that take advantage of the system. I am a Democrat because I truly want programs like this to exist, to help others. But I in no way support this behavior. We need far stricter policies on weeding out the criminals. Republicans want to cut the budget...Democrats want the programs. In my opinion, the answer is not to abolish the program, or cut benefits, but to focus on kicking people like this off these programs.

Finally some justice for thje man. The system is unusually biased always towards the woman. Theyt want equality onl;y when it suits them, when it comes to alimony and child support they want 100%.

my girlfriend gets ss disability for ptsd on facebook showing her working in a bar later found out she is a bartender in a readneck bar here in logan wv. just one of many in this welfare state.

Let me add my 2 cents worth. I don't see anything in the article that said she was collecting disability from social security or any government entity. it said she was collecting alimony from her ex because she said she couldn't work. She may have only been scamming the husband and not the government. I don't think she stopped to think that anything posted to the internet could come back to haunt you. Take this as a lesson.
