It might be a billing mistake. Those happen all the time. Here is another one. A man I know personally and saw his letters from this institute told him that he was being denied further benifits because people with his condition either get better or die by this time. Sounds fair, don't you think? Well, lets see. He has had lung cancer and they took out over 60% of his lungs and he has about 40% capacity at most. He can walk short distances and has to stop. Hell, people even scold him for using a handicap spot. Oh, the institute was the one that doles out disability benifits. Since he was still alive, they figured that he had regrown his lung or something.
