Pay me for my mood disorder.

From the SA Express-News:

A San Antonio man was indicted Wednesday on charges of wrongfully collecting $171,000 in Social Security disability insurance benefits while he was running a plumbing company.

Court records said criminal investigators with the Social Security Administration began looking at Ernest Luckett, 52, after getting a tip that he ran First Priority Plumbing, and later confirming the information.

He was approved for disability benefits in 2005, claiming he had injured his back and had a mood disorder. Investigators found Luckett was never given approval to work after being approved for the disability benefits, and collected the benefits since 2005, records show.
