I’m surprised the SSA don’t have an option to mark you as permanently disabled. We have that in the VA system. It’s not like someone’s blown off leg is going to regrow.

Similar thing in my country, gotta prove your disability every year. I’ve been putting off redoing the paperwork got my ADHD for like a year. I don’t even necessarily want the tiny bit of money they’d pay me, I just want the tiny tax break on the payroll taxes for the employer (which is me).

But yes, even if you have a missing limb, you need to fill out 10 pages of forms annually.
