And even then, the forms are not easy. I helped my girlfriend fill out hers this year (she sustained permanent nerve damage from a car accident several years ago) and you have to explain/justify pretty much everything. You have to explain what you used to do and why you can’t do it anymore. You have to detail what house chores you’re capable of doing, how long it takes you, if someone needs to help you, and so on. It’s pages and pages that require handwritten responses. My hand was hurting several pages in, I can’t imagine someone with nerve damage being able to fill the whole thing out.
Then after all that, you basically have to cross your fingers and hope that your answers aren’t too mild to disqualify you, but also not so extreme that someone will need to investigate/audit you. It’s a frickin’ tightrope, and she’ll have to do it all over again 3 years from now. And three years from then. And so on, for the rest of her life.
