Here's a couple of numbers to chew on. If course at full retirement age (65) full SSI kicks in so its no longer considered 'disability'. But fully 20% of all of those receiving social security benefits are receiving 'disability'. That's 11 million people. 45% of veterans of Iran and Afghanistan receive disability benefits from the VA. This is more than double than for any previous war. The previous rate was at about 20%. that's a helluva lot of people who are on 'disability'.
