USPS Pain in the Neck


You may NOT believe this, but there is a woman who hasn’t worked since 2005 due to a disability claim for a neck injury she claims to have suffered when lifting a letter tray while working for the United States Postal Service. As part of her claim that she was unable to work, she has (so far) collected $193,000 in disability payments.

The U. S. Postal Service Office of the Inspector General investigation found that the injured rural carrier has been traveling around the world…..... gained certification as an open water and advanced scuba diver.......… and engaged in hiking, snow skiing, bungee jumping .....… and horseback riding… she was even seen dancing after her disability claim was filed.

To make this story even better, she purchased a $150,000 boat and named it “Free Ride.”

That might have been the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

She was sentenced to eighteen months in prison and fined $193,000. Needless to say, her thirteen-year career with the Postal Service has come to an end.
