"But after spending at least $250 million since 2012 to build a directory of 21st century jobs, an internal fact sheet shows, Social Security is not using it, leaving antiquated vocational rules in place to determine whether disabled claimants win or lose."
...
"Social Security has not explained why it has yet to implement the labor bureau survey."

There's just no care for here. Ive tried for ywo full years. And chronic pain care is poor. Physio is basic and untrustworthy. I really dont want to leave home or Northern Ontario and I would need help and support to move back to Toronto. I'm so scared and lost with financial planning, housing, moving, finding and friends/community. Could use gentle suggestions or substantive encouragement if anyone can spare a comment spoon. :-(

I think EDS - hyperflexibility syndrome, (among other health problems) sure looks similar to chronic Vit.C deficiency. Scurvy symptoms are generally connective-tissue abnormalities. Industrial societies let fresh foods travel farther, but you can live in a food-desert neighborhood, or household where fresh foods just aren't available. And there are other consumption patterns, conditions meds, or etc. getting in the way of C absorption.
