        Your second statement makes that very clear but I’m guessing people didn’t get that far.

        Unfortunately there is some truth that if you have a qualifying (mental) condition you almost be definition are incapable of jumping through the hoops to actually be bureaucratically qualified.

          there’s a lot of truth to it.
          i mean, it’s almost completely true.
          people at social security have been downright abusive to my brother, who has been qualifyingly disabled since about 15 years old…
